Though these rising prices are great if you are a landlord or seller, it is not great news for those trying to find or keep housing in the Edgewater area. This is not an issue unique to Edgewater but is impacting the whole metro area.
On the City of Edgewater signs around town it promotes this community as the “City of Choice.” Increasingly choosing to live in Edgewater is only available to those with higher incomes. Those who work in our restaurants, our schools, our city services like the Police Department, cannot afford to live in Edgewater.
