Oxford Hills Will Bring Vibrant, Worry-Free Living to Howard County

For Central Maryland residents who want an active retirement without leaving the area they know and love, Erickson Senior Living is introducing a brand-new retirement community in Howard County. The national leader in developing and managing continuing care retirement communities is excited to announce that it has broken ground on Oxford Hills in Clarksville, Md.!

Situated on 62 scenic acres near Route 108, Oxford Hills will offer the best of both worlds: A peaceful setting that reflects the rural charm of western Howard County and easy access to the region's most popular destinations.

"Oxford Hills is a wonderful opportunity for people who have long considered an Erickson Senior Living community but didn't want to leave the area where they've built their lives," says Senior Sales Director Ryan Barkley. "It offers something truly special: The chance to enjoy the worry-free lifestyle, amenities, and peace of mind that Erickson Senior Living communities are known for, all while remaining close to family, lifelong friends, and their favorite neighborhood spots."

Designed for modern living

Set to welcome its first residents as early as late fall 2028, Oxford Hills will debut with three independent living residence buildings and a central clubhouse.

Thoughtfully designed one- and two-bedroom homes will feature well-appointed kitchens with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops, in-unit washers and dryers, private patios or screened balconies, and convenient under-building parking.

The Limestone Square Clubhouse will serve as the hub of daily life, offering an array of amenities to support an active, engaging lifestyle. Residents will savor the three distinct dining venues--a casual eatery, a full-service restaurant, and a bar and bistro with outdoor seating. The clubhouse will also boast a fitness center, swimming pool, theater, hair salon, art studio, and dedicated meeting spaces for cards, games, and small gatherings.

Outdoor amenities will include pickleball and bocce courts. And since home maintenance and repairs will be handled by the community's expert General Services team, residents can spend less time on chores and more time doing what they love.

Convenient connections

One of Oxford Hills' most distinctive features is its integrated design. Climate-controlled walkways will connect every building on campus, allowing residents to move comfortably throughout the community to meet friends for dinner, attend events, or head to an exercise class--without worrying about the heat, rain, or snow.

"That kind of convenience encourages residents to get out, stay involved, and build relationships, no matter the weather, which creates a stronger sense of community," says Barkley.

The campus was also designed to complement the surrounding landscape. Inspired by Howard County's agricultural heritage, Oxford Hills will feature expansive green spaces and outdoor gathering areas that further encourage recreation and connection.

Adjacent to the community, a five-acre, intergenerational park will boast a dog park, versatile ball courts, a terraced gathering space, and a shaded pavilion for residents, families, and neighbors to enjoy together.

Take the next step

Reservations for Oxford Hills will open in spring 2027, with the community welcoming its first residents as early as late fall 2028.

"Scheduling a visit to the Sales and Information Center is a great first step if you'd like to learn more," Barkley says, emphasizing that visits are purely educational, not high-pressure. "We want people to feel comfortable. We work on your timeline to ensure Oxford Hills is the right fit for your retirement."

Joining the Priority List can keep you in the loop as the community's construction progresses.

You'll receive exclusive updates on the community's progress, including floor plans, pricing, and construction milestones. Joining will also secure your place in line for a future home, as Priority List members have the first opportunity to reserve floor plans when they become available.

"We're so excited to announce Oxford Hills to the local community," says Barkley. "Our goal is for retirees to move in and look back on the journey with a smile, knowing they made the right decision."
