Edgewood Homes for Sale

Edgewood, a small neighborhood in west New Haven, is adjacent to the expansive Edgewood Park, a product of the City Beautiful movement that transformed the area in the early 1900s. The neighborhood features large Queen Anne and Colonial Revival homes, many converted into multi-family units while retaining their historic charm with elements like large front porches and steeply pitched roofs. Edgewood Park remains a central attraction, offering amenities such as pickleball courts, a skate park, playgrounds, and walking trails. The park also hosts the weekly CitySeed Edgewood Park Farmers' Market and features a renovated lily pond and the Edgewood Park Sundial, a popular spot for children during summer. Residents have access to a variety of shopping and dining options, particularly in nearby Westville along Whalley Avenue. Local favorites include Bella's Café for American classics and Westville General for a mix of food and home essentials. Within Edgewood, dining options like Mama Mary’s for soul food and Ladle and Loaf for kosher soups and salads are popular. Grocery needs are met by Stop and Shop and the family-owned Edge of the Woods Market. Edgewood is less than 2 miles from downtown New Haven and Yale University, making it convenient for university employees. The neighborhood is walkable, with plentiful sidewalks and easy access to public transportation via the CT Transit bus line. While the crime rate is comparable to the national average, recent years have seen a decrease in shootings. Edgewood is also eligible for the Yale homebuyer program, which provides financial assistance to university employees purchasing homes near the campus.
