Central Avenue Homewood

Central Avenue Homewood runs from 28th Avenue South in the Rosedale neighborhood to Oxmoor Road in the Edgewood neighborhood of Homewood. For three blocks, from 28th Court South to Oxmoor, Central Avenue is divided by a large, grassy median.

A dead-end spur of Central Avenue continues north from 28th Avenue as an alley, then resumes at 27th Court South and proceeds alongside Griffin Creek for several blocks. To the south Central Avenue ends at Oxmoor Road. Across Oxmoor the street continues as East Edgewood Drive, a residential street extending one long block to Roseland Drive.
