Edgewood has no traditional downtown. Instead, it's a rural-suburban community of large-lot and small-acreage homes tucked between Puyallup, Sumner, and Fife, with the highest median home value of any market Turn Two Mortgage serves. Marc, based nearby in Lake Tapps, works with Edgewood's estate and move-up buyers directly.
Edgewood is unusual for the South Sound. It has no traditional downtown or commercial core, and residents lean on neighboring Puyallup, Sumner, and Fife for retail and dining. What it does have is a rural-suburban character built on larger lots and small acreage, historically home to horses and small farms, and the highest median home value of any market Turn Two Mortgage serves.
At $723,777, Edgewood's median home value tops every other market Turn Two Mortgage serves. It's a genuine estate and move-up buyer market.
Larger lots and small-acreage properties are the norm here. It's a different lifestyle than the subdivision-driven growth in Bonney Lake or Tehaleh.

Why doesn't Edgewood have a downtown?
Edgewood incorporated as a city in 1996 but never developed a traditional commercial core. It's a rural-suburban community, and residents typically shop and dine in neighboring Puyallup, Sumner, or Fife.
Why are Edgewood home values the highest in this area?
Edgewood's larger lots and lower housing density, combined with its rural-suburban character, put its median home value above every other market Turn Two Mortgage serves, currently around $723,777 per Zillow.
Do I need a jumbo loan to buy in Edgewood?
Often, yes, particularly for larger-lot or estate-scale properties. Jumbo financing is one of the more common programs Turn Two Mortgage arranges for Edgewood buyers.
Is Edgewood a good fit for horse or hobby-farm properties?
Edgewood has historically been home to horse properties and small farms, and larger-acreage listings still come up regularly. Turn Two Mortgage can discuss financing considerations specific to acreage properties.
What's the difference between Zillow's estimate and a listing price in Edgewood?
Zillow's home value index (around $723,777) is a modeled estimate across all homes, while a median list price (around $899K in mid-2026) reflects only homes currently for sale. That's a different, generally higher-skewing metric. Turn Two Mortgage can help you understand what applies to a specific property.
