Troy, Illinois · Madison County
Homes for sale in Troy, IL, where the commute and the schools both work.
Troy is the commuter-value pole of the core Metro East market. A roughly $350K median, Triad CUSD 2 schools, and some of the fastest sell times in the region, near 41 days. Search it with a team that closes 250+ a year.
The Troy fit
Troy works for commuters who want a strong district without the Edwardsville price.
Troy sits at the spot where I-55 and I-70 cross, which makes it the cleanest St. Louis commute in the core market and an easy run to jobs spread across the Metro East. That access is the reason the town moves the way it does. Homes here post some of the fastest sell times in the region, near 41 days against a 50 to 63 day range region-wide, and the strongest listings go pending in about a week.
Two kinds of buyers compete for the same Troy listings.
The first is the St. Louis and Metro East commuter who wants minutes back every morning and a quiet town to come home to. The second is the Triad-district family trading up into a newer subdivision without paying an Edwardsville premium. Both want the same thing, a roughly $350,000 median that buys real square footage, so well-priced homes rarely sit.
- Commuters to St. Louis and the Metro East who weigh the drive before the floor plan
- Triad CUSD 2 families moving up from a first home or relocating into the district
- Move-up buyers from neighboring Maryville who want the same schools and more house

Why Troy moves fast
The interstate access is what keeps Troy tight.
Troy is the only core town that hands you both I-55 and I-70 from the same exit, which puts downtown St. Louis, the Riverbend, and the rest of the Metro East inside an easy drive. Commuters pay for that, so demand stays steady and well-priced homes sell in roughly 41 days, faster than the 50 to 63 day range across the region.
For a seller, that pace is leverage, but only with the right number out of the gate. Home Team prices your Troy home on what actually sold in your subdivision, then runs a buy-and-sell timeline so you are not carrying two homes at once.
Buying in Troy
Settle the district and the commute first, then tour homes.
Troy rewards buyers who decide what matters before they shop, because the fast pace leaves little room to dither once the right listing hits.
Lock the school zone
Troy sits in Triad CUSD 2, with students at Triad High School. Confirm the boundary on the specific home, since the district line is the reason many families pick Troy over an equally close town.
Measure the real commute
The I-55 and I-70 split is Troy’s whole pitch. Time your actual drive to St. Louis or your Metro East job at rush hour before you fall for a floor plan, because the access is what holds resale value here.
