Edgewood is a neighborhood in Northeast Washington, D.C. Edgewood is bounded by Michigan Avenue to the north; Rhode Island Avenue NE to the south; Lincoln Road and Glenwood Cemetery to the west; and the tracks for the Red Line of the Washington Metro to the east. The eastern boundary originates with the establishment of the former Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1873, creating the physical barrier which today separates Edgewood from Brookland to the east. Edgewood is in Ward 5.
