About Edgewood
Heights
Edgewood Heights, located between City Park and the Lakefront, is a residential and low-key New Orleans neighborhood with leafy blocks and mid-century ranch homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Harrison Avenue corridor near City Park Avenue, where corner cafes, small groceries, and bike traffic set a steady daytime rhythm. Architecture leans toward brick single-story houses, deep setbacks, and wide driveways, with occasional raised cottages closer to older streets. Green space shapes daily routines via nearby trails and lagoons. Dining and culture often orbit Parkway Bakery & Tavern, Ralph’s on the Park, and the New Orleans Museum of Art.
