The dominant residential form in Oxford is the single-detached house, which accounts for almost 90% of all units within the neighbourhood. One of the key features in the northern, undeveloped third of the neighbourhood is a drained wetland that is seasonally wet.
Explore how Oxford fits on the map: the gold fill is the boundary in effect for the selected time period, dashed outlines show every earlier superseded shape from prior eras, red pins are linked structures built in that era, and purple pins are sites. Use the time period buttons below the map to explore the neighbourhood over time. Boundary history is documented in Stories.
The Province of Alberta claimed ownership for this wetland and any future development within the area will need to confirm to applicable regulations on wetland disturbance and wildlife protection.
