Edgerton
Strong schools draw families here
Median $419K·Walkability 3.2/10·Schools 6.8/10
People often expect this stretch of Algoma Township to feel like suburban sprawl, but step in and you'll find something quieter—a mix of country lots with breathing room, creekside properties, and homes tucked onto cul-de-sacs where trees do the heavy lifting on privacy. The listings here tell the real story: acre-plus parcels, barns, wood-lined interiors, and the kind of recent updates (new roofs, decks, finished basements) that suggest people are putting down roots rather than passing through. You're about 20 minutes from downtown Rockford if you need city amenities, close enough to 131 to make commutes reasonable, but far enough out that the rhythm feels rural. Schools vary—some properties pull from Rockford, others from Cedar Springs or Sparta, so it's worth checking which district your lot sits in. Becker Creek runs through some properties here, and the real character comes from those expansive home sites and the quiet that comes with land.

Crime in Edgerton is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level. The FBI doesn't publish reliable crime rates for individual neighborhoods, and within any community crime varies street to street. For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Kent County.
Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Edgerton home (around $418,500) at today's 6.66% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $75k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,821 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $2,821/mo | $75,230 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $3,247/mo | $86,586 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $3,390/mo | $90,405 |
Estimates use a 6.66% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
