A Columbus suburb with diverse housing
The Edgewood neighborhood was established in 1910, and while some homes date back that far, most of the suburb's growth in southeast Columbus happened after World War II. “It’s an older, established neighborhood with a good stock of old homes,” says Ted Welch, executive officer of the Edgewood Civic Organization. “We have people who have lived here when the post-war houses were new, and we have young people moving in. It’s a diverse mix.”

Bungalows, Cape Cods and ranch styles
Older homes dating to the 1920s are north of Frebis Avenue, but Edgewood is primarily made up of bungalows, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes from the 1950s. Many houses have a full basement and a detached garage and are about 15 to 30 feet off the road. The neighborhood's streets do not have sidewalks. Edgewood's single-family homes fall below Columbus’ median housing price. The majority of the homes are priced from $100,000 to $270,000. Some of the older homes that have been remodeled are priced over $300,000. Affordability is a major draw for many homebuyers. “People can get 15-year tax abatements in this area, so taxes get locked in at the prerenovation price. That helps affordability a lot,” says Realtor Angela Keener, who sells homes in the neighborhood with Keller Williams Consultants. Keener adds that homebuyers still have access to trendy nearby neighborhoods like Grandview and German Village, except prices in Edgewood are lower. The Southwind Villa Mobile Home Park is in the center of the neighborhood.

Casual neighborhood dining options and access to German Village
Multiple dining options along Lockbourne Road are within walking distance for most residents. The Dawghouse Pizza & Bar is a neighborhood dive serving hot dogs and burgers. Its karaoke nights are a big hit with locals. Pachucos Taqueria is a food truck that serves authentic Mexican cuisine with cold bottles of Jarritos. People sit around picnic tables and enjoy their dishes. In Golden Donuts Diner, a lunch counter overlooks the grill and the walls are decorated with record sleeves. Also along Lockbourne Road, El Girasol is a Latino grocery store painted with the red, white and green stripes of the Mexican flag. There’s also a Save A Lot grocery store on the neighborhood’s southeast end. Three miles northwest, German Village is filled with authentic German dining options. “A lot of Edgewood residents eat there,” Keener says. The family-owned Schmidt’s Sausage Haus has been one of Columbus’ most popular sauerkraut and schnitzel restaurants for over 140 years.

A strong civic association
The Edgewood Civic Organization has been around for about 20 years. Welch says he’s trying to bring back some of the events the organization put on before the pandemic started. “We used to have a community garden tour, and we’d shut down a neighborhood block for a street festival with food and games,” he says. There’s also been an effort to encourage people to decorate for holidays. “We started the effort when we moved here, and nobody was decorating, so we put Christmas lights up and flags for the 4th of July,” he says. “Now, when you drive in the neighborhood at the right time of year, you’ll know there’s a holiday coming up.” With his passion for Edgewood, it was a simple decision for Welch to join the civic organization. “It’s a wonderful neighborhood, and I’m proud to be here,” Welch says. “Most of the residents have the same pride that I do, and I hope that’s instilled into our new residents as they move in."
