Edgewater Florida ~ The Hospitality City

Founded in 1871 by Dr. John Milton Hawks, Edgewater was originally Hawks Park.  




The Menard-May Park is the historic four and a half-acre parcel site where a steamboat brought the first group of winter settlers.

Riverside Drive was originally The Strand used by Timucuan Indians for many years.







In 1924, the Florida Legislature changed the name of Hawks Park to Edgewater.








A unique Intercoastal waterfront community, Edgewater is located alongside a diverse ecosystem, the Indian River Lagoon, also known as the underwater rain forest. Home to 680 species of fish and 300 species of birds, amazing manatee and social dolphins. Amidst the Palms are unique trees a flowers in bloom year round.










Due to the small town's serene charm, beautiful location, warm winters and friendly residents, Edgewater earned the title of The Hospitality City.




The Atlantic Ocean is a short north bound ride by bicycle, golf cart or vehicle.  When the beaches get crowded, so do the roads.  Edgewater residents enjoy close beach side proximity, with out the seasonal traffic.



Edgewater Landing, a riverfront manufactured home subdivision was recognized as one of The 50 Top Retirement Communities in America.

A community with seasonal and full-time residents that include young families, single residents, retirees, and many veterans, the 146 acres of parkland is put to year round use.  Residents use the fitness trails, walk dogs, picnic, swim, fish, go bicycling; play tennis, racquetball, football, volleyball, bring their children to the playgrounds and launch kayaks and boats in to the river.








Edgewater remains a fun, hospitable, gorgeous and affordable place to live!
