Join us for a two-day celebration of food, music, and the arts in the heart of the Oxford Square on April 24th and 25th.

At Neighborhood Realty, we’re proud to sponsor this wonderful event each year. We LOVE Double Decker and hope to see you all on the Square next weekend!

The Lafayette County Literacy Council’s mission is to strengthen Oxford and Lafayette County through literacy and reading. They believe that the ability to read is not just a basic skill — it’s a foundation for a better life. Every program they offer, every event they host, and every volunteer they train is part of a larger story: a story about opening doors, building confidence, and giving people the tools they need to thrive.

Fair Housing month brings awareness to the increased efforts to end housing discrimination and raises awareness of fair housing rights.

Fair Housing month is celebrated in April of each year in honor of the Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, or the Fair Housing Act. The Fair Housing Act (FHA) was passed in the wake of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King's roots in fair housing can be traced back to the Chicago Freedom Movement.

Located on North Lamar, Lamar Taco Shop is quickly becoming a go-to spot in Oxford for bold flavors and a vibrant atmosphere.

I don’t think there’s a "returning to normal" in Oxford. I think there’s a before the storm and an after the storm. There’s a new normal now — a new way to look at Oxford and our community.

Winter Storm Fern hit Oxford and Lafayette county with a vengeance. Our local Shaw Ace Hardware is continuing to step up and help out our residents. Anyone who goes to Shaw’s knows you’ll be greeted with a “how can I help you” and a smile. This month’s business highlight is Shaw Ace Hardware.

Once Winter Storm Fern passed through Oxford, Stronger Together Oxford began their work putting together information for residents, organizing volunteer opportunities, etc. Many people feel helpless during these kinds of events and it really is important to have organizations take the lead and show people “how” they can help.

Oxford weather can be unpredictable and can change quickly this time of year. One day it can be warm and sunny, and the next day you may need your heaviest winter coat.

When winter temperatures drop below freezing, your home needs a little extra care. A hard freeze can lead to burst pipes and high energy bills, but with a few proactive steps, you can protect your home, avoid costly repairs and high utility bills, and stay warm and comfortable all season long.

We are so excited to introduce you to Oxford’s newest coffee shop, Velvet Ditch Coffee! Velvet Ditch Coffee, founded in 2021, is a specialty coffee roaster based in Oxford, Mississippi. They are dedicated to sourcing exceptional single-origin beans and expertly roasting them to highlight each coffee’s natural, distinctive flavors.

Homestead Exemption gives home owners a tax break in the state of Mississippi. You can only file homestead on one property, your main residence, and you must file January 2-April 1 in the Lafayette county Chancery building (the Assessor/Tax Collector’s Office).

The Christmas and New Years break is a great time for families with school age children to get away, for college students to travel or visit home, and for locals to enjoy a quiet, slow paced Oxford. Unfortunately, it is also prime time for home break-ins. Thieves know that many people in our small town are taking advantage of the time off school and that there will be a lot of empty homes in the Oxford area.

Tips for Decorating Your Home for Christmas:

There’s something magical about the moment Christmas decorations start going up. Whether it’s the glow of the lights, the nostalgia tied to every ornament, or just the sense of slowing down and celebrating the season, decorating your home for Christmas does more than make your space look pretty—it sets the tone for the memories you’ll make there.

The Holiday Season is here in Oxford! For many this holiday season, joy is giving gifts to others less fortunate. Oxford has a host of organizations and non-profits that help to provide a happy Christmas/Holiday to local families in need throughout our community.

There’s a new secret worth uncovering in Oxford this fall — Miscellanea, a restaurant and cocktail haven designed for those who crave atmosphere as much as taste. Tucked away with speakeasy-style charm and moody sophistication.

Oxford and Lafayette county neighborhoods are looking pretty spooky! We are proud to announce our 5th Annual Halloween Decorating Contest WINNERS! 1st place goes to 100 Longest in the Woodland Hills neighborhood!

It is finally starting to feel like fall in Oxford! Cool weather means that trees will start dropping those leaves. Where do those leaves end up? In your homes gutters of course.
