Country living close to the city

Situated halfway between Fort Wayne and New Haven is Adams Township, an hourglass-shaped neighborhood that offers residents easy access to city amenities, while still maintaining the peace and quiet associated with a more rural setting. With Highway 930 running across the northern boundary of the neighborhood, Interstate 469 is easy for residents to access. At the same time, those who want to embrace a more agrarian ethos will find the southern section of the neighborhood to be full of wide-open space and homes separated by up to a mile. The area’s location does make it entirely car-dependent, and there are no rapid transit stops nearby. And potential buyers should be aware, too, that while sidewalks are plentiful in certain areas, they are nonexistent in others. “It’s hard to beat the location," says Realtor Ahtway Freeda, who has been representing sales in Adams Township for over a decade. “You’re close to the city and can get there easily, but it’s still like living in the country in some places.”

From modest ranch-style homes to new construction

The size of the area means that there is a wide variety of housing styles from which to choose; depending on the specific area of Adams Township, houses can be modest ranch-styles built in the 1950s or two- and three-story moderns built within the last year. As a whole, the median price of real estate in Adams Township is $185,000, and buyers should expect to pay an average of $106 per square foot. A three-bedroom/two-bathroom ranch-style home can sell for around $119,000, and a four-bedroom/three-bathroom two-story new construction home can list for $320,000. “Many of the houses in the area are being replaced by new construction, and the area is growing in popularity. So prices will most likely be going up in the future,” says Freeda.

There are plenty of new construction homes to choose from in Adams Township.

Tee-off with some golf or kayak down the river

For some outdoor recreation, residents head to Tillman Park, located in the southwestern corner of Adams Township. The park has a playground, eight courts for either tennis or pickleball, an 18-hole disc golf course, multiple picnic areas and a walking trail. Golfers can tee-off at the Donald Ross Golf Club, a public nine-hole course. True outdoor enthusiasts can take an overnight trip to the River Camp Fort Wayne campsites, a private camp that offers sites for individuals, groups and RVs, as well as access to the adjacent St. Mary’s River for canoeing or kayaking. Those who prefer to get their recreation indoors can head to Planet Fitness located off Highway 27 southern Adams Township, and parents can entertain kids at Thunderbowl bowling alley or Bell’s Skating Rink. And with downtown Fort Wayne just a short drive away, Adams Township residents can get to that urban center with ease for any other amenities they might be seeking.

Multiple grocers with classic American dining

When it’s time to stock up on groceries, Kroger is the locals’ choice, as it is located nearby on State Boulevard. For home necessities and other shopping, Target is in Northwood Plaza on Stellhorn Road, where shoppers will also find stores like Big Lots, Walgreens and Dollar Tree. Restaurant options in Adams Township are limited, and residents typically have to travel to either New Haven or Fort Wayne to dine out. Richard’s Restaurant in New Haven is a popular choice with area residents, where all-day breakfast is on the menu, along with American classics like burgers, hotdogs and fried chicken. To the west of Adams Township is another popular destination, Willie’s Café, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a casual diner setting where many of the diners have been coming for years.
