Edgelea Home for Sale

Edgelea, a residential neighborhood four miles south of downtown Lafayette, is known for its 1950s prefabricated ranch-style homes. These homes, built by the National Real Estate Company, range in size from under 900 to 1,200 square feet and feature carports or garages. Despite their smaller size, Edgelea homes are in high demand, selling more than twice as quickly as the national average. Properties in the south end and along Beck Lane are prone to flooding. The neighborhood's proximity to well-regarded public schools makes it a popular choice for families and investors. Students attend Edgelea Elementary School before moving to Lafayette Tecumseh Junior High School and Jefferson High School, which offers dual-credit courses and a robust foreign language program. Grocery stores, retail and dining options are within half a mile, including local favorites like Shellie's Café and Healthies Lafayette. Tippecanoe Mile is 2 miles away with chain stores and Malibu Jack's Indoor Theme Park, and the Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds host the Tippecanoe County 4-H Fair and Lafayette Roller Derby games. Bishop Woods Park and Armstrong Park offer various sports fields, playgrounds and walking trails. Nearby CityBus stops provide public transportation.
