Edgewood is an established, mostly single-family neighborhood on Jacksonville's westside, in Duval County, with housing dominated by early 1900s to 1940s bungalow, Craftsman, and masonry vernacular homes, along with some Tudor Revival examples, laid out on a grid street pattern of mid-size city lots. Because these are resale homes rather than new construction, each one trades on its own condition, updates, and lot rather than on a builder price sheet.
The Edgewood name predates Murray Hill. Records place the original Edgewood Subdivision as an 1884 plat stretching from the St. Johns River toward what is now Lenox Avenue, split by the rail line, marketed to northern investors before growth picked up after Jacksonville's 1901 Great Fire. The northern portion of that plat was replatted in 1907 as Murray Hill Heights, leaving the remaining Edgewood section as the older, quieter neighborhood along Edgewood Avenue South that carries the name today, and its identity is often folded into the better-known Murray Hill name in casual use.
The bigger picture is location. Edgewood sits between the Murray Hill commercial corridor, with its shops and restaurants along Edgewood Avenue South, and the historic Riverside-Avondale district toward the St. Johns River, putting downtown Jacksonville within a short drive. Recent mixed-use and multifamily development along Edgewood Avenue South signals ongoing reinvestment in the corridor immediately adjacent to the neighborhood, which is worth watching alongside the age of the housing stock itself.
