About Oxford

Oxford is one of the oldest towns on the Eastern Shore, and one of the quietest places to call home on the water.

Founded in 1683, Oxford sits at the tip of a peninsula in Talbot County, bordered by the Tred Avon River on one side and Town Creek on the other. There is one road in and out, Route 333, and that alone shapes the character of the town. It stays small, it stays quiet, and it stays deeply connected to the water.

I show buyers this town often, and what draws people in is rarely just the real estate. It’s the pace. Oxford has no stoplights, a handful of marinas, a five-star restaurant or two, and a ferry that has been carrying passengers across the Tred Avon since the 1600s. For buyers who want a waterfront life without the crowds of a bigger destination town, Oxford is usually the answer.

Why Buy in Oxford?

I tell my buyers this often: Oxford isn't for everyone, and that's exactly the point. It's for people who want the water to be part of daily life, not just a view. The town's single road in and out keeps traffic and development in check, so the shoreline, the historic homes, and the small-town rhythm tend to stay intact year after year.

Because Oxford is so small, inventory here is genuinely limited. When a waterfront property or a home in one of the town's private communities comes up, I usually hear about it before it's public, and I let my clients know first. If you're comparing Oxford to St. Michaels or Easton, I'm happy to walk you through how each town lives day to day, not just what the listings look like on paper.

Whether you're looking for a classic in-town home near the ferry landing, a deep-water lot in Bachelor Point or Morgan's Point, or a condo for easier waterfront living, I can help you figure out which part of Oxford fits the life you're trying to build.
