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.

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.

Bylaw modernization underway

The board is working through a restatement of the association's bylaws, which were last amended in February 1992. The current document still references the swim club that closed a decade ago, member share certificates that no longer exist, and a governance structure that doesn't reflect how Edgewold actually operates. The working documents — a findings summary and an executive summary of strategic options — are available in the bylaws section of the site. A restated draft will be circulated to members ahead of a vote.

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.
