Edwards Rd, Hyde Park

Edwards Road in Hyde Park runs from Grandin Road to Wasson Road. As you cross over Wasson Road you're in Oakley where Edwards Road continues on until it becomes the entrance ramp to northbound I-71. The stretch of Edwards Road that runs between Wasson and Erie Avenue contains a number of different businesses and restaurants, multi-unit buildings, and single-family homes. The stretch of Edwards running from Erie Avenue to Observatory Avenue consists primarily of businesses from offices and banks to small, local boutiques and galleries. Once you are past Observatory, Edwards Road becomes all residential tree-lined streets. The homes are much larger along this stretch of Edwards and they are typically situated on spacious lots. As you head down Edwards towards Grandin, you enter mansion territory. This part of Edwards is green, spread out and very expensive.

Overall, Edwards Road is on of the main thoroughfares through Hyde Park and typically has a lot of traffic between the Observatory and Wasson Road section due to the number of businesses restaurants, and schools. A lot of parking is on street, so it can sometimes be difficult to park. As you head towards the mainly residential section of Edwards Road, the homes increase in price as they increase in size and space. If you can afford to live in this section of Edwards Road, I would recommend it, but the portion closer to the businesses tends to have lots of traffic and be much noisier and hectic. However, Edwards Road provides easy access to the interstate, not to mention its convenient proximity to Downtown Cincinnati and many other prime neighborhood locations.
