| Because of its location along the Lake and being on the westside of Cleveland, Edgewater never experienced serious blight and abandonment issues and has always been Cleveland’s more stable neighborhood with a rare pocket of wealth along the Lake and West Blvd. The neighborhood is now taking advantage of the general rise and interest in all of the westside of Cleveland north of 1-90. And by all measures it should be as this neighborhood has many attractive elements: decent walkable commercial district, good mix of housing stock and price point, great access to Edgewater Park and solid public transportation options with a 10 minute ride to downtown. |
