Oxford Circle is a neighborhood within the lower Northeast part of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Its name comes from the highly trafficked circle at Roosevelt Boulevard and Oxford Avenue. The neighborhood was once an area used for farming until it was sold to developers before World War II.

Most of the brick and stone townhouses that make up the neighborhood were built in the early 1940s to 1950s by the Hyman Korman Company.

The diverse population includes African America, Caucasian, Jewish, Hispanic, Korean and West Indian. Learn more about the History of Olney, Pennsylvania.
