Overview and Location
Oxford Village is a purpose-built student housing property located at Philadelphia, PA 19121, USA. Although the listing city is Cherry Hill, the address places it within Philadelphia’s University City area, close to the main campus of a major university and the Broad Street Subway lines. The property offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom units with monthly rents ranging from $1,200 to $1,815 (indicative — confirm with the operator). This places it well above the city’s lowest reported student housing price of $479 per month, reflecting a mid-to-upper pricing tier in the local market.
The building provides standard amenities: Wi‑Fi, an on-site gym, and laundry facilities. Google reviews give it a 4.5 rating from 116 reviews, indicating generally high resident satisfaction. Below we go through who this residence suits, who may want to consider alternatives, what actual residents say, price and room-type guidance, and when to book.
Who Is This Residence Suits?
Oxford Village is a strong fit for students or young professionals who prioritise proximity to campus and transit. The property is within walking distance of the university main campus and a short walk to Broad Street Subway stations, making commutes to other parts of Philadelphia straightforward. Residents who value a clean, move‑in ready apartment with a functional layout will find the units well‑maintained, as confirmed by multiple reviews.
The property works well for small groups or individuals who prefer a quieter environment while still being close to dining and campus gyms. Because it offers one‑bedroom, two‑bedroom, and three‑bedroom options, it can accommodate singles, couples, or small roommate groups. The one‑bedroom units start at $1,200 (indicative — confirm with the operator), which is on the higher side for a single occupant, but the two‑ and three‑bedroom options bring per‑person costs down when shared.
Another key strength is the on‑site management team. Multiple reviews specifically praise staff members for being helpful, professional, and committed to resident experience. If dealing with a responsive leasing office matters to you, Oxford Village appears to deliver that consistently.
Who Might Look Elsewhere
Oxford Village may not suit budget‑conscious students. At a minimum of $1,200 for a one‑bedroom, it is more than double the city’s lowest reported student housing price of $479 (indicative — confirm with the operator). Students who can accept a longer commute or a smaller/older unit could find cheaper options in other parts of Philadelphia or in nearby suburbs.
The property also has no stated minimum lease term or available‑from date in the data, which could be a drawback for those needing flexible start dates or short‑term stays. If you need a lease of less than a year, or need to move in mid‑semester, you should confirm directly with Oxford Village before committing.
Additionally, Oxford Village does not appear to have a parking arrangement listed. If you own a car, you would need to check whether street parking or a paid lot is available nearby. The location close to a university campus usually means on‑street parking can be limited.
Finally, while the property has a gym and laundry, it lacks features like a pool, rooftop, or study lounges that some newer purpose‑built student residences offer. If comprehensive common facilities are a priority, you might prefer a property with more amenities.
What Residents Actually Say
Resident reviews on Google highlight two themes: staff quality and location.
Maria Davydova (5‑star review) writes:
“I want to leave a review for Maliah Fraction. She provided excellent customer service! She is polite, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. She communicated clearly with a positive attitude and helped to understand everything about the lease process.”
This points to a management team that goes beyond basic transaction — an important factor for first‑time renters or international students unfamiliar with US leasing procedures.
Caitlyn Serafin (5‑star review) writes:
“Oxford Village is in a great location! It is close to Temple University main campus, the Broad Street Subway stations, plenty of food options, and campus gyms. The apartment was very clean when I moved in and a great layout. However, my favorite part is definitely the staff! Rebecca has been helping me every step of th”
The review underscores the convenience of the location and the cleanliness of the units. The mention of staff again confirms that Oxford Village’s management is a strong selling point.
James M (5‑star review) writes:
“I haven’t been staying at Oxford for too long but my experience here so far has been very welcoming. The office staff is very friendly, and personal. They love forming close relationships with their residents and truly commit themselves to making sure each person has a great experience. The apartment spaces are really ”
Though the review is cut off, it reinforces the community‑building approach of the staff and the quality of the apartment spaces.
All three reviews rate 5 stars and were posted on Google. No negative reviews were included in the data, so potential drawbacks such as noise, maintenance issues, or pricing concerns are not captured. You should weigh the positive reviews against your own priorities and, if possible, tour the property or speak with current residents.
Price Positioning and Room-Type Guidance
Oxford Village’s monthly price range of $1,200 to $1,815 (indicative — confirm with the operator) is well above the $479 city from‑price. That $479 figure likely represents a low‑end shared bedroom or a subsidised unit elsewhere in Philadelphia. Oxford Village charges a premium for its location, newer or better maintained units, and on‑site amenities.
Room-type guidance:
- One‑bedroom (1b) – Starting at $1,200. Best for a single occupant who values privacy and is willing to pay a premium. Total cost is high, but no roommate coordination needed.
- Two‑bedroom (2b) – Falls within the $1,200–$1,815 range. Splitting with one roommate could bring per‑person cost to roughly $600–$900, more competitive with the city average.
- Three‑bedroom (3b) – Likely near the top of the range. With two or three roommates, per‑person cost can drop to around $600 or less, making it the most budget‑friendly option within Oxford Village.
If you are cost‑sensitive, aim for a two‑ or three‑bedroom and share. If you need a one‑bedroom, compare Oxford Village’s price to other nearby one‑bedroom properties; it may be on the higher end.
Booking Timing
No specific availability date is listed for Oxford Village. In Philadelphia’s student housing market, most leases run from August to July. For a 2026‑2027 occupancy, start searching in early 2026. Many properties begin pre‑leasing for the following academic year around January‑March. Since Oxford Village appears well‑rated and has a limited number of units (28 properties in the city data), desirable room types — especially two‑ and three‑bedrooms — may lease quickly.
If you need a lease starting outside the typical August window, contact Oxford Village directly to ask about off‑cycle availability. The data shows no minimum lease term, so short‑term stays might be possible but need to be confirmed.
