Edgewater Park is a private gated bungalow community within Throggs Neck on a small peninsula jutting into the East River at the mouth of the Bronx River, accessible only to residents and consisting of several hundred small cottages originally built as seasonal retreats that gradually became year-round homes. It is one of several waterfront enclave communities along the Throggs Neck shoreline and maintains a tight-knit, insular character unusual even by Bronx standards.
