Southern Florida history and local commerce
Situated on Florida’s Gulf Coast, the historic community of Edgewood offers a desirable combination of single-family homes and close proximity to a myriad of merchants in downtown Venice. Developed in the early 1920s, Edgewood has a long-standing reputation as a working-class neighborhood and was instated as a result of locomotive engineers advocating for adequate housing for all income ranges. Residents of Edgewood are within walking distance of an abundance of historic monuments like the Venice Train Depot, local boutiques and restaurants like Wee Blew Inn Restaurant and lush green space at Mundy Park. “Edgewood is an affordable neighborhood,” says long-time local Jackie Kennedy, a Realtor with Michael Saunders & Company. “You’re looking at homes in the mid $300,000s, generally speaking.”
Many of the classic original homes in Edgewood are along Groveland Avenue.
Historic Mundy Park is located in the heart of the residential area of Edgewood.

Mediterranean revivals and stucco ramblers
Edgewood features a range of housing options from Mediterranean revivals and newly constructed contemporary cottages to traditional ranch styles. The community boasts subdivisions with or without a Home Owners Association, resulting in custom home additions in areas like North Edgewood. With a median sales price of $319,000, price points here can range from the mid 100,000s to upwards of $700,000 depending on the age, size and location of the property. For example, a two-bedroom ranch-style fixer-upper costs around $155,000, while a newly constructed two-bedroom Mediterranean revival neighboring East Venice Avenue can go for around $690,000. Newly constructed homes along East Venice Avenue are subject to increased price points. Homes here often feature paved driveways, single-car garages and are typically fronted by mid-sized yards with room for a few palm trees. “Edgewood is an older well-established neighborhood — It features spacious yards and homes in good condition,” says Kennedy.
Mediterranean homes provide a timeless and elegant aesthetic reminiscent of coastal villas.
