Adams Township is a laid-back community that offers a blend of suburban and rural living. Here, homebuyers can choose to live along tight-knit streets or spaced out across multiple acres. Outdoor recreation is abundant, from youth sports to camping, and nearby roadways make commutes convenient. Although situated on the city's outskirts, locals are not far from ample shopping and dining options.
The community's features a diverse range of housing styles, from mid-century ranch-style homes to recently built New Traditional and contemporary designs. "Many of the houses are being replaced by new construction, and the area is growing rapidly," says Ahtway Freeda, a local Realtor with eXp Realty who with eight years of experience in the region. Some sit close together on a quarter acre, while properties in the area's more rural parts can reach up to just over seven acres. Except for a few outliers, these homes typically range from the low $100,000s to the mid-$400,000s.
Tillman Park, located in the community's southwestern corner, is a hub for outdoor recreation. The park features a playground, sports fields for youth sports leagues and pick-up games, picnic areas and a paved pathway that runs along the St. Mary’s River. Golfers can tee off at Donald Ross Golf Club, which features a nine-hole public course. River Camp Fort Wayne is located on the river’s western banks, offering tent and RV sites, alongside access to the water for paddling. Thunder Bowl #1 on Lafayette Street provides fun indoors, where you can enjoy a round of bowling for $1 every Thursday.
Students receive their education from East Allen County Schools. The district offers a school choice program, enabling students to attend any school within the district. Nearby campuses include the highly rated Southwick Elementary School and the top-rated East Allen High School. Private options, like Martin Luther King Montessori School and top-rated Bishop Luers High School, also dot the area.
Residents pick up groceries from Kroger on State Boulevard and shop big-box retailers like Target and Big Lots at Northwood Plaza on Stellhorn Road. Jefferson Pointe Center is 6 miles away and is one of the city’s two main shopping malls.

Though somewhat rural, major roadways make Adams Township a well-connected community. “This is why I love Fort Wayne,” says Angela Zimmerman, a local Realtor with Wyatt Group Realty who has four years of experience in the area. “We are big enough to have a sports team and great restaurants, and you can still drive across the city in 20 minutes or less.” U.S. Route 27 and state Road 930 connect residents to downtown. Interstate 469 is also easily accessible, and Fort Wayne International Airport is an 11-mile trip away. However, many locals fly out of larger surrounding cities. “A lot of us will drive to Indianapolis or Detroit because the flights tend to be cheaper and there are more options,” Zimmerman says.
