About the community
A gated Del Webb 55+ community built around single-story ranch living.
Edgewater by Del Webb is a gated, age-restricted (55+) active-adult community on the far west side of Elgin in Kane County, north of Bowes Road and west of Randall Road. Developed by Del Webb, the active-adult brand of Pulte Homes, with sales opening in 2005 and construction running through roughly 2015, it comprises about 1,040 single-family homes across roughly 440 acres. The character is master-planned and amenity-rich: single-level ranch floor plans, manicured common grounds, ponds and trails, and a large central clubhouse behind a controlled-access entry. It draws empty-nesters and retirees who want low-maintenance living close to the Randall Road corridor.

What it’s actually like to live here
Edgewater is built around the idea that retirement should be social and low-maintenance. With the association handling lawn care, snow removal, and grounds, residents trade weekend yard work for time at the Creekside Lodge, which anchors daily life with two pools, a fitness center, studios, and event space, and a full-time lifestyle director who keeps a steady calendar of clubs, classes, and events. The single-story ranch designs suit buyers who want to age in place without stairs, and the gated, master-planned layout with ponds and trails gives the community a quiet, resort-like feel.
The location is a practical strength. Sitting just off Randall Road, residents have grocery, retail, restaurants, and Advocate Sherman Hospital within minutes, and I-90 plus the Big Timber Road Metra terminus make trips to O'Hare and downtown Chicago manageable for visiting family or the occasional city day. For an active-adult community, that combination of amenities, errands, and medical access in one corridor is hard to match in the western suburbs.
The honest tradeoffs are worth naming. Property taxes in Kane County are high, as they are across the region, so even an attainable purchase price carries a meaningful annual tax bill, partly offset by senior exemptions. A monthly HOA assessment adds a fixed cost on top of the mortgage, and buyers who prefer full autonomy should understand this is a rules-based, age-restricted association. The Randall Road corridor that makes errands easy also means traffic and commercial bustle just outside the gates rather than a rural setting. For the target buyer, these are usually acceptable trades for the amenities and convenience.
The questions buyers actually ask
Edgewater by Del Webb FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Edgewater by Del Webb. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- Does only one resident need to be 55 or older?
- Yes. Only one person living in the home needs to be 55+. Spouses and partners under 55 are fine. The 55+ rule is about the household, not every individual.
- Can my kids and grandkids visit?
- Yes. Family can visit and stay as often and as long as they want. Edgewater by Del Webb's 55+ status governs who lives there full-time, not who comes by for the holidays.
- How much is the HOA?
- Single-family homes are $315 per month.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Access to the Creekside Lodge and all amenities, lawn care, snow removal, common-area and pond upkeep, and a full-time lifestyle director with an organized activities calendar. Confirm the current amount and the fee-by-series schedule with the association.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $6,000 – $11,000 per year, depending on home size and value. Kane County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- When was Edgewater by Del Webb built?
- Del Webb (Pulte) built the community between 2005 and 2015. Del Webb (Pulte) stopped new construction in 2015, so every sale today is a resale.
- What's the typical closing timeline?
- 30 to 60 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 60.
- Is Edgewater really a 55+ community, and what does that mean?
- Yes. Edgewater is an age-restricted active-adult community, which generally means at least one occupant of each home must be 55 or older, with limits on younger permanent residents. The exact rule is set in the association's governing documents, so confirm it with the HOA before buying.
- What does the HOA fee cover?
- The monthly assessment covers access to all amenities plus exterior conveniences like lawn care, snow removal, common-area and pond upkeep, and the community's activities program with a full-time lifestyle director. It generally does not cover interior maintenance or your utilities. Confirm the current amount and the fee-by-series schedule with the association.
- Are the homes single-story?
- Yes. Edgewater is built around single-family ranch floor plans designed for one-level living, which is a major reason buyers choose it. Some plans add finished lower-level or bonus space, but the primary living areas are on the main floor.
- What amenities are in the community?
- The heart of Edgewater is the Creekside Lodge, an approximately 23,000 sq ft clubhouse with an indoor pool and a separate outdoor pool, a fitness center, an aerobics and dance studio, ballrooms and event space, and hobby and craft studios. Outside, there are tennis, bocce, and pickleball courts, walking and biking trails, and scenic ponds.
- How far is shopping, the hospital, and the train?
- All are close. The Randall Road retail corridor is minutes away, Advocate Sherman Hospital sits on North Randall Road with I-90 access, and the Big Timber Road Metra station, the western end of the Milwaukee District West line to Chicago, is a short drive.
- What do homes cost, and how is the market right now?

Your local agent
Joe knows Edgewater by Del Webb
Most agents will list anything. I focus on the places I actually know, and the things that move value here don't show up in the MLS write-up: which streets and buildings hold demand, what the HOA or assessments really cover, how the comps read once you account for condition and location, and where buyers consistently want to be.
When you're ready to tour or list, you want someone who has read the last 50 closed comps in this specific market, not a national average, and can tell you what they actually mean for your price. That's how I work. Text or call any time, and I'll give you a real take, not a brochure.
