Why are there so many homes for sale in South Elgin ? Is this a bad area?

It is really not a bad area. I am from St. Charles a neighboring city. The main issue with South Elgin is they have put up a lot of nice, but affordable homes to bring in a younger population. It seems now these couples are getting older, they do not want to send their children to the Elgin public school system which is not the best. They are moving to close by communities with a better reputation for education. It is not a bad place to live if you do not have children of school ageWhy are there so many homes for sale in South Elgin ? Is this a bad area?
