Edgewater is a medium-sized coastal city (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Florida. With a population of 23,636 people and five associated neighborhoods, Edgewater is the 136th largest community in Florida.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.61% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

The city is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Edgewater has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Edgewater a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

As is often the case in a small city, Edgewater doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
