Having been built up around Miami University, the small city of Oxford is the epitome of a college town. With around 24,000 students compared to the city’s 21,000 permanent residents, the university serves as the cultural hub for the entire community: annual events like Oxford Wine Festival, recurring series like the Summer Music Festival, and the vibrant dining and nightlife scene downtown all thrive on the support of the college crowd while also providing a huge range of leisure options for students and non-students alike.

The rental market is quite diverse, with affordable options ranging from efficiency apartments just a block or two from campus, to single-family homes at the edge of town, allowing you to find the perfect living arrangements to fit your lifestyle.
