Oxford Circle PA homes for sale are mostly brick rows built from the early 1940s into the 1950s, around the traffic circle where Castor Avenue, Oxford Avenue, Cheltenham Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard meet. The figures on this page come from Bright MLS sales that listing agents placed in the Oxford Circle neighborhood. Philadelphia neighborhood lines are informal, so sales tagged with a neighboring name or simply Philadelphia are not counted here. See the Philadelphia community page for the citywide picture.

Where Is Oxford Circle? County, City, and ZIP
Oxford Circle sits in Northeast Philadelphia, inside the City and County of Philadelphia. Most sales carry the 19149 ZIP code, with others in 19124 and 19111. The city’s open data map draws Oxford Circle north and west of Roosevelt Boulevard, from Oxford Avenue to Cottman Avenue, with the traffic circle at its southern tip. Listing agents also use the name for some blocks south of the Boulevard, and the Castor Gardens name overlaps it to the north.
Because Oxford Circle is a city neighborhood, there is no borough or township to sort out. Every home pays Philadelphia real estate tax, and the line between Oxford Circle and the next neighborhood is a matter of local habit. That is why these figures use the MLS neighborhood label rather than the ZIP code.
What Is It Like to Live in Oxford Circle, PA?
All 68 homes sold had a basement, and 38 had a garage. The MLS lists the median home as built in 1950, with about 1,209 square feet.
The neighborhood takes its name from the traffic circle. The land was farmland until just before World War II, and the Hyman Korman Company built many of the rowhomes starting in the early 1940s. Castor Avenue is the local shopping street, and a Compare and Save supermarket opened at 6515 Castor Avenue in May 2026. The Bushrod Library is on Castor Avenue and the Seymour Tarken Recreation Center is on Frontenac Street. The Frankford Transportation Center, the end of SEPTA’s L line, formerly the Market Frankford Line, is about three quarters of a mile from the circle.
