Edgewater is an "urban city"?....... What?.... Edgewater is a small little bedroom community that no one has ever heard of because its a only a few blocks and confused with Wheatridge. I don't what you consider crime, but there isn't any real crime in Edgewater, except for maybe the occasional domestic between a husband and wife who forgot to water their garden. ...... Frequent gunshots?, I cant remember that last time there's been a shooting in Edgewater, I would say gunshots are unheard of, rather than frequent. maybe your confusing firecrackers with gunshots. The sirens you hear are the ambulance from other cities traveling down Sheridan going to St Anthony's hospital or maybe you hear Denver police, fire or paramedics going down Sheridan, but it definitely isn't related to Edgewater. The occasional graffiti that pops up in Edgewater, looks like it came from a 10 year old trying to imitate what he saw on Gangland (or internet). If you think Edgewater has gang problem, your sadly mistaken, you need to travel. Casper Wyoming has a bigger gang problem than Edgewater' The only thing remotely related to a real gang is the 1 retired gang member who moved there from LA after he was chased out for being weak...... Low Income? The houses in Edgewater are so expensive, hardly anyone can afford to live there............. Nick puts it best, Edgewater is Mayberry. Stop trying build Edgewater's street credit on the Internet... it wont work.

I'll give you one thing Joey, you are trying hard. Also you are right about one thing, I do live in white suburbia, I live in Edgewater. Interesting, but desperate attempt at spanglish, keep practicing. I especially like the part where you name your little friends and then incriminate them.Let me give a quick geography lesson. Edgewater is NOT a neighborhood, it is its own city in Jefferson County. This is why Edgewater has their own police dept, fire dept and their own mayor. How come Villa Park, Barnum, or Westwood don't have their own police dept's, fire dept's or mayors, that is because they are a neighborhood within a city. No matter how much you try or wish, Edgewood is a neighborhood in lakeWOOD's Northeast EDGE. By the way the "projects at 18th and Kendall" are actually privately owned condos located outside Edgewater's border in the City of Lakewood. Educate yourself on what Housing Projects actually are. Sure I'm familiar with the Gallant Knights Insane or Gangstas killin Incas and the West Side Bloods....... any little toy can put up some generic tag on some fence in a dark alley in the middle of the night or claim they ex members to their friends little brother..... . Obliviously you've never left Colorado before, 99% of Denver has suburb characteristics, ask your mom if she'll take you to a real city so you can see what urban is and what low income is. Also why do you keep mentioning all these shootings and murders that happened in Lakewood or Denver? what do they have to do with Edgewater? By the way $39,000.00 is quite a bit of money I'm not sure how your thinking that's low income...FYI $39,000.00 /Yr is 3 times above the poverty rate and is what is defined as median income..Your just a kid who is trying to represent his neighborhood...but on the internet?....Oh yeah that's what we call an INTERNET GANGSTER. Maybe you'll expose Edgewater's Internet gangster problem, by posting these ridiculous comments.Take it or leave it Edgewater is a quiet little Bedroom Community that has a small wannabe problem. Joey...I'm starting to feel sorry for you. You probably REALLY don't know, someday it will all make sense. You seem like a smart person, you should put your energy towards more productive things. Try and give up your infatuation with gangs and crime, it leads no where. I'm not going to continue to argue all these facts with you. You don't have to be ignorant, but if you want to stay ignorant, I cant stop you. You can bend it and twist it...You can misuse and abuse it...But you cannot change the Truth.

i agree that most people are super friendly nick. they really are. But its not like mayberry. there may be some similarities but its not the same. For instance, you have to go look at the edgewater police department crime map and look at the criem thats happened in edgewater/edgewood for the last 6 months. trust me ese. I am not being mean and i do love living here and most nights are pretty quiet. But the schools are bad and do have gang issues within the schools. the student incident rate (fights,suspension, drugs, gangs) is 91.4%. The denver metro average is 10%. So yes, this is no compton or east los angeles ese. but its not totally mayberry or whatever either holmes.
