Who we are

A small, self-managed community.

Thirty-nine households. About an acre and a half of shared parkland, mature trees, walking paths, and a creek that runs through the heart of it.

Edgewold isn't a managed HOA with a hired property company — it's a neighborhood where residents take direct part in caring for the park and common ground.

About Edgewold

Current initiatives

What we're working on.

After a long quiet period, the board is back to active work. A few things in motion right now:

Bylaw modernization
Our 1992 bylaws don't match how the association actually operates today. A restatement is underway.
The bridge
The pedestrian footbridge across the creek needs repair. Assessment is in progress.
The stone wall
A block retaining wall along the park has begun to lean. Review is the next step before any work begins.
A hazardous tree
One large dead tree posing a potential risk to nearby homes is being scheduled for removal as a safety priority.
This website
The site itself is part of the project. The association is working to make communication, documents, and decisions more visible than they have been.

Recent Traffic Mitigation, installation of "Slow" painted signage

I have also included this on the "Discussion Board" so that neighbors can provide their thought. As all of you would have seen, the township has painted the upper section of W. Ridge. The "SLOW" markings are located on top of W. Ridge, just on the Upper Providence side of road. Another one located at the top of the blind curve and the last one above the intersection for Woodview. I am generally positive of these initial actions by the township and have informed both the Township Manager and our local District 4 representative. Additionally, I have reached out to the township to ensure that our neighbors are consulted before any invasive mitigations are applied/installed. I believe it is important that we all have a voice regarding any invasive mitigations, examples of invasive mitigations could be but are not limited to: • Speedbumps • Rumble Strips • Parking Restrictions • Sidewalk installations Over the weekend, I have received responses back from the township that any invasive mitigations would include consultation with neighbors. Please let me know what your thoughts are on this topic, what you support, what you oppose. I will make sure that any discussions are shared with the neighborhood and if there are any township meetings, that information is posted and shared with the neighbors, so that you have an opportunity to be heard.

A new website for Edgewold

Edgewold has a new website. It's built to make communication easier between the board and residents, to give the association a real public face, and to keep records — bylaws, meeting minutes, forms — somewhere durable and accessible. Residents can sign in to see the full member area; everyone else can read about the neighborhood, the park, and what the board is working on. If you live in Edgewold and haven't received a sign-in invitation, reach out to the board.

The park

The Heart of Edgewold.

Most of what makes the neighborhood distinct comes back to the park — the woods, the creek, the bridge, the open space at the bottom where neighbors gather. It's been the center of the community for decades, and it's the reason caring for the place collectively still matters.
