Edgewater by Del Webb is Elgin’s premier 55+ community—1,040 mostly ranch homes built 2005–2015 by Pulte/Del Webb around the 23,000 sq ft Creekside Lodge, with indoor and outdoor pools, a full-time activities calendar, and a gated entrance in northwest Elgin.
Edgewater by Del Webb sits north of Bowes Road in northwest Elgin, about half a mile west of the Randall Road corridor, and it is the region’s reference point for active-adult living: 1,040 homes built by Pulte’s Del Webb brand between 2005 and 2015, gated, age-restricted to 55+, and organized around a genuinely impressive amenity campus. When downsizers ask me what a “real” 55+ community looks like versus a marketing label, this is the tour I give.
The homes are overwhelmingly single-story—ranch plans from about 1,197 to 3,272 square feet with two to occasionally five bedrooms across more than a dozen floor plans, from efficient villas to estate-scale ranches. Recent sales run from the $340Ks to about $600,000 with a median around $410,000, and active listings have reached $650,000 for the largest updated homes. For single-level living in a newer home, there is no deeper inventory anywhere in the Fox Valley.
The Creekside Lodge is the community’s engine: 23,000 square feet holding an indoor lap pool, fitness center, and gathering spaces, with an outdoor pool, tennis and bocce courts, and miles of walking trails outside, all run with a full-time activities director. HOA fees of roughly $228 to $335 a month cover the lodge, lawn care, and snow removal—the full lock-and-leave package. We verify age-qualification rules for each household’s specific situation before touring.
Pricing reflects Edgewater sales and active listings as of mid-2026.
The community’s entry tier—efficient single-story plans from about 1,197 square feet with two bedrooms, two baths, and two-car garages. Lock-and-leave living at the lowest price Del Webb quality trades for in the region.

23,000 square feet of clubhouse: indoor lap pool, fitness center, hobby and gathering rooms, and the staff that keeps a 1,040-home community’s calendar full.
The outdoor pool, tennis, and bocce courts carry the summer season, with clubs and leagues organized through the activities director.
Miles of internal walking trails loop the community’s ponds and green space—flat, lit, and maintained, which matters more every year.
The gated entrance plus HOA-covered lawn and snow mean the house takes care of itself while you travel—the core of the lock-and-leave promise.
Edgewater is an age-restricted 55+ community, so school assignment rarely drives purchase decisions here; for the record, the area sits near the District U-46 / Central 301 boundary. Verify current attendance boundaries with the district, as they can change and assignments are parcel-specific.
The state’s second-largest district serves most of Elgin, including areas surrounding Edgewater. Relevant mainly for resale context and visiting-family questions.
D301 serves far-west Elgin territory near the community. Parcel assignments in boundary areas are specific—verify with the district if it matters to your situation.
ECC’s Spartan Drive campus—with its lifelong-learning programming popular among Edgewater residents—is about 15 minutes east.
Edgewater sits a half mile from the Randall Road corridor—groceries, restaurants, and Advocate Sherman Hospital are five minutes out, which residents consistently rank among the community’s best features.
Randall Road reaches I-90 in about ten minutes for trips toward O’Hare (roughly 30–35 minutes) and the northwest suburbs. The Tri-Cities are 15–20 minutes south.
Metra’s Big Timber Road station is about ten minutes away—722 parking spaces and a 67–88 minute ride to Union Station—which makes city theater and museum trips practical without driving.
