Frequently asked questions
What are the newest apartments in Oxford, MS?+
Faulkner Flats (2023) on Old Taylor Road is Oxford's newest professionally managed community — resort-style pool with in-water loungers, golf simulator, private dog park, granite kitchens, and townhome-style homes with attached garages, from $1,900.
What counts as luxury in the Oxford market?+
Two flavors: brand-new construction (Faulkner Flats — everything still smells of paint and cut lumber) and deep-renovation amenity plays (The Azul — 2022 renovations, night-lit pool, sauna, putting green, 24/7 market and gym). Both include full-size laundry, granite or quartz kitchens, and stainless appliances.
How much do luxury apartments cost in Oxford?+
The luxury tier runs $1,750-$3,200: one-bedrooms at $1,750 (The Azul) to $1,900 (Faulkner Flats), premium two-bedrooms $1,995-$2,150, and the top of the market at $2,640 for Faulkner's townhome-style Mansion and $3,200 for The Azul's four-bed, four-bath Yale.
Do any Oxford apartments have garages?+
Yes — select townhome-style residences at Faulkner Flats include attached garages, rare for Oxford apartments. Lexington Pointe offers covered carports as a lighter-touch alternative.
Which luxury community is better for game-day hosting?+
The Azul's night-lit pool, cabanas, and games lawn make it the entertaining pick — 7 minutes from Vaught-Hemingway but outside the closure zone. Faulkner Flats counters with the pergola fire-pit courtyard and the calmer Old Taylor Road approach to campus.
