Historic homes and outdoor recreation near downtown in Edgewood
Edgewood is a small New Haven neighborhood named for the sprawling park on its west side. The park and the neighborhood were refined during the City Beautiful movement, a national effort in the early 1900s to beautify cities with grand architecture and manicured green spaces. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, Edgewood is still known for the beautiful historic homes along its sidewalk-lined streets, its park and its location less than 2 miles from Downtown New Haven. It’s also just over a mile from both Yale University and Southern Connecticut State University.
Edgewood is a great option for homeowners who want to live close to Downtown New Haven.

Edgewood Park is the outdoor and community center of the neighborhood
Many residents can walk to Edgewood Park along the neighborhood’s sidewalks, and proximity to the park is one of the area’s main draws. One reason the space remains so popular is its ability to evolve with the times. “Right now, pickleball is the most popular amenity,” says Stephanie FitzGerald, a 40-year Edgewood resident and a longtime member of Friends of Edgewood Park, a volunteer group that, in cooperation with the city, helps maintain the park. The park's tennis courts were rebuilt in 2022, and some were converted to pickleball courts. Residents also head to Edgewood Park to walk or run along its tree-shaded paths, fish in its pond or use the skate park. There’s also a popular dog park, and hot summer days often see kids abandoning the playground to run around in the sprinkler at the Edgewood Park Sundial. And every Sunday from May through November, the community descends on the park for the CitySeed Edgewood Park Farmers Market.

The cost of owning a historic Edgewood home, Yale homebuyer program
Beyond its park, Edgewood is just as well known for its historic homes. “It has so much character and history. And the homes are beautiful; I think there are some real gems there,” says Kayla Dayle, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty New Haven and a New Haven native who grew up near Edgewood. Queen Annes and Colonial Revivals are the most common home styles, but there are also Stick Victorians and American Foursquares. Many of these homes have been converted into multi-family houses; some are bought and rented out by investors, while others are owner-occupied. “I just sold a couple of homes there where they live on one floor and they rent out the other floor, and it makes it more affordable,” says Bluma Katz, a Realtor with Harriman Real Estate and a Beaver Hills resident who has lived in New Haven for 27 years. Multi-family homes can start in the mid-$300,000s if the home needs renovation, but most range from the mid-$400,000s to the low $700,000s. Single-family homes are a little less common here, and typically sell for between the high $300,000s and low $600,000s. Edgewood is one of the neighborhoods eligible for the Yale homebuyer program, which provides funds to university employees to help them buy a house close to campus.
Well-maintained yards are a sense of pride for the residents of Edgewood.

Highway access is limited from Edgewood, as it’s a little over 2 miles to Merritt Parkway.
