Edgewood offers convenient amenities on the edge of Indianapolis

There was no need to get creative when naming Edgewood, an Indianapolis neighborhood developed in the early 1900s on what was then the edge of the city, surrounded by woods. Today, this south Indianapolis community still offers a wooded residential setting, and residents enjoy a diverse shopping and dining scene nearby. The neighborhood’s Perry Township location allows for quick commutes downtown and easy access to Interstate 465.

Downtown is about 8 miles from Edgewood, which offers established homes on tree-filled streets.
