Living in suburban Edgewood, Kentucky
Originally a military headquarters during the Civil War, today Edgewood is a quiet, commuter suburb just ten miles southwest of Cincinnati that is filled with classic Midwestern two-story homes and “A sense of community," says Edgewood Mayor, John Link. This feeling of togetherness might have something to do with the town’s size. At just less than 5 square miles, this small-town community is well-connected by an elaborate series of sidewalks that pass neatly-kept lawns and mature oak trees. "If you want, you can walk the entire city,” says Link, adding that, "living in Edgewood means having close neighbors." Homes in this rural suburb tend to have a quarter acre or larger backyard, so residents have room to enjoy being outside, but they are also packed tightly together, bringing the community closer. With a "close, family-friendly kind of feeling," Edgewood is "the kind of place kids go to school and trick or treat together and neighbors greet each other when we see one another out and about," says Link. Boasting a tight-knit community, nearby parks and greenspaces as well as the attractions of the city nearby, residents of Edgewood live true to the city's motto, “Where every day is a walk in the park.”
