Oxford, Mississippi, has quickly become one of the most competitive college rental markets in the country. Named the 2024 “Best Small College Town in America” by USA Today, and runner up for 2025, Oxford is home to Ole Miss, which is projecting 30% enrollment growth by 2030. Off-campus housing demand has become so intense, it’s commonly referred to as “The Hunger Games.”
Oxford Southern Properties GP LLC follows the fully leased and outperforming 2024 and 2025 offerings, Oxford Reserve Properties GP LLC and Oxford Reserve Phase II GP LLC. This next project includes 8 condominiums in 2 separate buildings (24 rentable doors).
