Wedgewood
A quiet, family-friendly neighborhood of cul-de-sac streets in central Woodbury, popular with families who want a settled feel without a big price jump.
Quick Answer
Wedgewood is a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood built around a network of cul-de-sac streets in central Woodbury, sitting price-wise between the more established Bailey's Arbor and the newer Stonemill Farms. It's a common choice for families who want low through-traffic streets and easy park access without the premium of a larger-lot executive neighborhood.
Key Takeaways
- Wedgewood is built around cul-de-sacs and low through-traffic streets, which makes it popular with families with young kids.

- Falls within South Washington County Schools (ISD 833) — confirm your specific school assignment by address, since boundaries can shift.

- A strong fit for buyers who want a quiet street over a larger lot or a shorter commute.

Overview
Wedgewood is built around a network of cul-de-sac streets, which shapes almost everything about how it feels to live there — low through-traffic, kids playing in the street without much worry, and a genuinely quiet daily rhythm. It sits price-wise in the middle of Woodbury's range, which makes it a natural comparison point for buyers weighing a more established neighborhood against a newer, pricier one.
Who Tends to Buy Here
Young and growing families make up most of Wedgewood's buyer pool, drawn specifically by the cul-de-sac layout and the reasonable price point relative to Woodbury's premium neighborhoods. It's also a common landing spot for buyers who toured Bailey's Arbor and Stonemill Farms and wanted something priced between the two.
Dave's Local Insight
When a family tells me street safety for kids is their top priority, Wedgewood is usually one of the first neighborhoods I bring up — the cul-de-sac design does a lot of the work there before we even talk about the house itself.
What to Watch For as a Buyer
Because Wedgewood's appeal is largely about the street layout rather than lot size or home age, it's worth comparing specific floor plans and lot sizes carefully — homes here vary more in size and layout than the neighborhood's consistent street pattern might suggest.
Pros

Cons
- – Cul-de-sac layout can mean a slightly longer walk to a through-street for some homes
- – Fewer large-lot options compared to Woodbury's newer developments further out

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Wedgewood a good fit for families with young kids?
Yes — the cul-de-sac street layout and low through-traffic are exactly what draws a lot of young families here, along with reasonable proximity to neighborhood parks.
How does Wedgewood compare price-wise to Bailey's Arbor and Stonemill Farms?
It typically sits between the two — a bit higher than some of Bailey's Arbor's older stock, but below Stonemill Farms' larger, newer homes. It's a common 'middle ground' choice for buyers comparing those two.
Are Wedgewood streets busy?
The cul-de-sac layout is specifically designed to minimize through-traffic, which is one of the more consistent reasons buyers give for choosing this neighborhood over a grid-style street layout.
Is there a homeowners association in Wedgewood?
It varies by specific section — confirm HOA status and dues for the specific address you're considering, since not every block has one.
