About the Community

Built to the most demanding specifications.  My own.
I designed Edgewood to be the best in every way: quality, comfort and convenience. Since I live in Edgewood, I built it the way I would want my home built - with attention to detail, aesthetics and function. I settled in South Boston 50 years ago and fell in love with the community. With homes like these in a location like this, why live anywhere else?”
– John R. Cannon, Edgewood Founder
