Where it is
The city’s overlay districts layer maps the Oxford Commons PUD, a planned unit development, east of Highway 7 and north of University Avenue. A planned unit development is a zoning overlay that lets a large site be planned as a whole, with its own mix of uses; the city’s zoning map shows the zone for a single lot.
Streets inside it, from OpenStreetMap, include Sisk Avenue, Commonwealth Boulevard, Ed Perry Boulevard, Oxford Commons Boulevard, Charger Loop, Lakewood Hill Drive, Mulberry Lane, Pin Oak Drive, Greenbrier Loop, Berkshire Drive, Persimmon Lane, Woodbine Drive and part of North F.D. Buddy East Parkway. OpenStreetMap also names The Pearl, a residential development, inside it. The area is in ZIP code 38655 and in Ward 1 on the city’s current ward map.
The shopping side is covered by Visit Oxford’s Oxford Commons guide and by our holiday shopping guide.
Schools
The Census Bureau’s school district map puts all of Oxford Commons inside the Oxford School District. The district groups schools by grade, so every student attends the same building for a given grade; two of them are inside the development. Grades are from the state’s 2024-25 report card:
| School | Grades | State grade, 2024-25 |
|---|---|---|
| Oxford Early Childhood Center, 1637 Highway 30 East | Pre-K | A |
| Bramlett Elementary, 225 Bramlett Blvd. | K-1 | A |
| Della Davidson Elementary, 209 Commonwealth Blvd. (inside) | 2-3 | A |

| Oxford Middle, 224 Bramlett Blvd. | 7-8 | A |

Oxford Middle and the Early Childhood Center are each about a third of a mile outside the development’s edge.
