Homeowners in Crestwood typically pay between $2,500 and $3,100 per year for home insurance, which is slightly higher than the Illinois state average. Your actual rate depends on your home's age, condition, coverage limits, deductible, credit score, and claims history. Shopping around with multiple insurers can help you find the best rate.
Yes, standard homeowners insurance in Illinois covers tornado damage as part of windstorm coverage. However, many policies include a wind/hail deductible that's a percentage of your home's insured value rather than a flat amount, which can mean higher out-of-pocket costs when you file a claim.
Flood insurance is only required in Crestwood if you're in a high-risk flood zone and have a federally backed mortgage. However, standard homeowners policies don't cover flood damage, so it's worth considering even if not required. Flood insurance in low-to-moderate risk areas often costs less than $500 annually through the National Flood Insurance Program.
Replacement cost coverage pays what it costs to replace or repair your damaged property today, without deducting for depreciation. Actual cash value coverage deducts depreciation, meaning you'll receive less money and have to pay the difference out of pocket. Replacement cost coverage costs more but provides better protection.
You can lower your premium by bundling home and auto insurance, raising your deductible, installing security systems or smoke detectors, maintaining a claim-free record, improving your credit score, and shopping around with multiple insurers. Ask about all available discounts when getting quotes.
Cook County property taxes averaged a 16% increase in 2025—the highest in Illinois history—making Illinois the state with the nation's highest property taxes. This means Crestwood homeowners must budget for both rising insurance costs and high property taxes when calculating total housing expenses. Look into available exemptions like the Senior Citizen Homestead Exemption to reduce your tax burden.
