About Oxford, GA
Oxford is a small, historic Newton County town best known as the original home of Emory University — today, Oxford College of Emory, a two-year residential campus that gives this quiet town an outsized cultural and intellectual presence.
The entire town of Oxford is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with antebellum homes, historic churches, and a walkable, tree-lined campus core that feels distinctly different from the rest of metro Atlanta’s eastern suburbs.
Buyers are drawn to Oxford for its historic character, small-town intimacy, and proximity to Covington and I-20, while still enjoying a genuinely unique sense of place. The Davis Team can help you find the right home in this rare, historic Newton County market.
