Deep dive · Downtown Edwardsville

A real downtown, not a lifestyle-center substitute.

Main Street is where GlenEd’s civic, dining, historic and cultural identity is easiest to see in one walk.

Why it matters

Historic districts change the housing conversation.

Downtown, Brick Street, St. Louis Street and Leclaire give central Edwardsville older housing, mature streetscapes and a different daily rhythm from newer suburban portions of GlenEd.

Wildey Theatre

Opened in 1909, restored and reopened in 2011, the city-owned venue hosts performances, events and movies.

Route 66

Buyer tradeoff

Central homes can offer character and proximity, but renovations, mechanical systems and maintenance should be evaluated property by property.
