Edgewood

Peripheral timber area

Edgewood is a common place name in the United States, used for towns, neighborhoods, and subdivisions.

The name evokes a wooded setting at the edge of something—a forest, a town, a property.

Like most compounds of terrain features, it sounds pleasant and vaguely pastoral: the Edgewood subdivision, Edgewood Avenue.
