Townhomes galore
Townhomes line the streets in Edgewood. Classic early 20th-century red-brick Colonials and similarly aged Federals, some painted muted pastel colors are common here. Many of these older constructions have been recently renovated, and they often feature staircases leading to small, covered porches. Newly built or ready-to-be-built townhomes are also popular here and often reflect similar architectural styles to older properties. Townhomes here are pushed back slightly from the sidewalk and feature small, often fenced-in yards. Edgewood is also home to apartment buildings and many condos, some older with brick architecture and some new and modern, and detached single-family properties sit at the neighborhood's edges. Properties here range from around $300,000 for a condo to around $1 million for a 4-bedroom newly renovated or new construction. Homes here don't often have garages, so many park on the streets. While parking can sometimes be difficult to find, Carl Allen, a Realtor with Murrell Inc. who has sold properties in the area, says, "It's a lot better than in Georgetown and Capitol Hill." Most people in Edgewood rent their homes or apartments.

It was interesting living here. Ive lived in the area for around 9 years and wouldnt change it. The area is what prepares you for the real world. Its a love hate relationship with the city though so I couldnt complain. Even going to school in the area was a love hate relationship as well, Washington Leadership Academy is filled with the residents of Edgewood and surrounding areas in the DC region.
