Extra elbow room around 20th-century homes
Narrow, curvy backroads are lined with farmhouse-inspired contemporary homes, new traditionals, and ranch homes. Small front patios and one- to two-car garages are common exterior features. The houses are perched on spacious, well-landscaped yards, typically ranging from a half-acre to 3 acres, adorned with mature trees and small gardens. The extra elbow room allows homeowners to make the space their own, with some adding an outdoor basketball court and in-ground pools. Prices here typically hover between $250,000 and $400,000.

Swimming, hiking and biking at Rock Cut State Park
Nearby Rock Cut State Park is a hub for recreation, primarily hiking and biking. The trails are canopied by hardwood trees and surrounded by more than 100 types of wildflowers that add some color to the park during the spring and summer. Spanning more than 3,000 acres, the expansive green space provides respite from surrounding commercial pockets, with two lakes for kayaking and swimming. There are also several docks and boat ramps to fish or get out on the water. During the winter, locals venture to the park for cross-country skiing. Nearly 3.5 miles south of Argyle is Mercyhealth Sportscore Two, a go-to spot for people to play soccer and volleyball. The large campus also features an indoor golf practice center. “There are a lot of events there, too,” Valle says. “The Rockford Rivets, a minor league baseball team, plays their games there, and they’ve also had concerts. We’ve gone there to see Cheap Trick, a popular rock-and-roll band from the 1980s.”

Specialized academies offered at Guilford High School
Rockford School District 205 serves students living in Argyle. They’ll attend Spring Creek Elementary School and Eisenhower Middle School, which earn C-plus and C ratings from Niche, respectively. Students later filter into B-rated Guilford High School where they can enroll in one of several academies with centralized focuses in business, health, production or service. In 2024, the school implemented a Military Wall of Honor to recognize graduates who are serving or have served. The project was 5 years in the making, and the school plans to host inductions twice a year – one around Memorial Day, the other around Veterans Day.

A glimpse of the past at Paulson's Agriculture Museum of Argyle
Highlighting the area’s farming history, Paulson’s Agriculture Museum of Argyle opened its doors in 2010 with several displays of antique tractors, windmills, wagons and planters. It also claims to have the largest collection of Rockford-made Emerson-Brantingham equipment. The artifacts were donated by local farmer Warren Paulson, who collected the equipment over 40 years. The museum is only open to the public on the second Saturday of each month, from April through October. Otherwise, people can schedule tours by appointment.

Easy access to Interstate 90
Although Argyle provides prime access to Interstate 90 and State Route 173, locals can avoid the major highways to access medical care. Javon Bea Hospital—Riverside sits 4 miles south via Argyle Road. Downtown Rockford’s riverside amenities, including restaurants, museums and performing arts centers, can be reached by taking Forest Hills and Harlem roads for nearly 12 miles. Locals take I-90 for almost 19 miles to get to Chicago Rockford International Airport. The freeway also connects them to downtown Chicago, about 92 miles away.Late-night meals at GreenFire
Chain and local eateries are dotted along East Riverside Boulevard, which sits to the south of Argyle. The options are diverse, ranging from Vietnamese to Italian and classic pub fare. GreenFire stays open late night, serving locally sourced steaks and wood-fired pizza until midnight. Locals line up at the counter at Hachi Sushi to order maki rolls or hibachi, while Fozzy’s Bar & Grill is a bustling sports bar known for its cocktails and Tuesday trivia nights. A 4.5-mile drive along West Lane Road, which edges Argyle’s northern end, leads to several big box stores, including Meijer, Target and Kohl’s.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
