    "I used to live here in Edgewater. It's a very pretty neighborhood with charming houses, nice walking paths/ sidewalks, and beautiful tree-lined streets. One thing I love about this neighborhood is that all the houses are different; unique in their own way. It is where I grew up and I recommend it to families with kids because it is truly a great place to make memories. Oxford park is right down the street and easy access to the bike path make is easy to have some fun in the summer, winter, spring, and fall. I love it here, and I want to move back soon."
