Oxon Hill

Discover the historic charm of Oxon Hill, an enchanting Maryland town that pays homage to its colonial roots. Named after Thomas Addison's 18th-century manor home, the current Oxon Hill Manor, built in 1929, is a stunning neo-Georgian-style mansion perched on a bluff overlooking the Potomac River. Today, it is owned by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, and is a cultural hub used for educational programs and grand events, including breathtaking weddings.

Oxon Hill is an easy drive from Washington, D.C. and is situated along the bustling Capital Beltway (I-95/495) and near the interstate Woodrow Wilson Bridge. The newly enlarged bridge opened in 2008, relieving decades of daily traffic congestion that snaked into the town. The area has a mix of townhomes, garden apartments, and single-family homes, built between the 1940s and early 1990s. Forest Heights, a lovely incorporated town, is also part of Oxon Hill's charming community.

Two main shopping centers, "Rivertowne" and "Eastover", attract neighborhood customers and visitors from nearby Southeast Washington, D.C. "Eastover" is a transportation hub for many bus routes, with some operating 24 hours a day. It also houses a Prince George's County Police station. The apartment communities closest to the D.C. line are affectionately known as "Glassmanor", an original name that still holds. Oxon Hill's unique community also boasts a large cultural center and nursing home, catering to its ethnic Filipino population, who are a significant part of the town's rich tapestry.
