A riverfront community in Fort Myers
Edgewood is a small neighborhood of about 525 residences located between the Caloosahatchee River and Palm Beach Boulevard. Residents here enjoy proximity to Downtown Fort Myers — just 2 miles away — without being directly in the center of it all. Prospective neighbors can choose between condo living with river views or a single-family home, some of which are on coveted waterfront lots. Along Palm Beach Boulevard, residents can find all the necessities, while two neighborhood parks provide plenty of green space.
Housing options in Edgewood
House hunters will find both condos and single-family homes in the neighborhood, on linear streets that usually don’t have sidewalks. A typical three or four-bedroom ranch-style home, on a street lined with palms and moss-draped oak trees, sells for between $250,000 and $300,000. Modest one-bedroom condos start in the low $100,000s, while a fully-renovated unit in a high-rise building overlooking the Caloosahatchee River with amenities like swimming pools and boat slips can go for as high as the mid-$600,000s.
Businesses and restaurants along Palm Beach Boulevard
Edgewood’s commercial business is largely concentrated along Palm Beach Boulevard. Here, residents can find a handful of places to grab a bite, like La Michoacana Natural, a snack shop where you can get everything from nachos to ice cream, and RedBone’s Bar and Grill, a quirky place to unwind with gardens, murals, and a brightly-colored paint job to set the mood. For the necessities, Bravo Supermarkets and Family Dollar are just minutes away, and for everything else, downtown’s eclectic mix of shops and restaurants is within 2 miles of the center of the neighborhood.
An IB high school in the vicinity
The School District of Lee County serves the neighborhood. Parents can apply to send their children to their school of choice within their proximity zones, like Edgewood Academy, graded C-plus by Niche; Oak Hammock Middle School, graded B-minus; and Riverdale High School, graded B. Riverdale High is an International Baccalaureate school that reports its IB students have received more than $55 million in scholarships over the last 15 years.
Two parks in the neighborhood
Riverside Park overlooks the Caloosahatchee River, a tranquil place to take the dog for a walk around the nature trail or for kids to play on the playground. The park also offers a community center where residents can attend events or take classes, like pottery or woodworking. Neighborhood residents can also go to Freemont Park, which features a playground and swing set.
Can’t-miss events nearby
Short of living downtown, Edgewood residents have some of the best seats in the house for most of Fort Myers’s many monthly and yearly events. More than 90,000 people gather at the riverfront in Centennial Park, about 2 miles from home, in February for ArtFest. Monthly, the city holds both an Art Walk and a Music Walk, which feature vendors, concerts, and more.
Getting around Edgewood
Residents can hop on the LeeTran city bus at stops along Palm Beach Boulevard and Frierson Street. The Edison Bridge and Caloosahatchee Bridge are just minutes from home, making trips to North Fort Myers and Cape Coral easy.
