About This Neighborhood
History of Edgewater by Del Webb
Edgewater by Del Webb is one of the Chicago area's most sought-after 55+ active adult communities — a large-scale, resort-style development by Pulte Homes (Del Webb brand) built primarily between 2004 and 2014. The community was designed from the ground up for the active adult lifestyle, with amenities, floor plans, and a social infrastructure that are second to none in the western suburbs.
"Edgewater is the community people work their whole careers to afford. Once you're in, you realize why — the lifestyle here is genuinely exceptional."
The centerpiece of the community is the Edgewater clubhouse — a stunning facility with an indoor pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, ballroom, craft rooms, and an active social calendar. The grounds include miles of walking paths, community gardens, and mature landscaping that give the neighborhood a resort character year-round.
The market data here is remarkable: Edgewater had 45 closed sales in the last 12 months at an average of 101.6% of list price — meaning homes are consistently selling above their asking price. This reflects extraordinary demand from the wave of Baby Boomers and early Gen-Xers entering retirement age who are looking for exactly what Edgewater delivers. If you're considering a move here, you should be prepared to act quickly and make a strong offer.
