Edgewood
Park-side family neighborhood, generously sized colonials
Edgewood wraps the eastern edge of Edgewood Park, a 123-acre Olmsted-designed park that gives the neighborhood its character. The housing stock is dominated by early-20th-century Colonial Revivals and Tudors on tree-lined streets — Whalley Avenue forms the northern commercial spine, Chapel Street the southern. Edgewood appeals to buyers who want a true single-family neighborhood feel with the walkability of an urban core: it's roughly equidistant from downtown, Westville Village, and the Yale-New Haven Hospital campus. The Edgewood Park duck pond, summer concerts, and the recently-improved trails along the West River draw families year-round. Inventory tends to skew toward 3- and 4-bedroom houses with yards.
