We're the heart of Oak Hill — a place where neighbors connect, kids learn, families grow, and everyone belongs.
Open 7 Days
Everyone is welcome
The Commons started in 2016 when a group of Oak Hill neighbors turned an abandoned community center into a thriving hub. Today, we're the place where people come for help, give help, make friends, and feel at home.
From after-school tutoring to our weekly food pantry, senior fitness classes to job skills workshops — if it strengthens our community, it happens here.
