Creve Coeur is a village of about 4,600 people [8] on the bluffs above the Illinois River [17], and it has the lowest typical home value of the 18 Tazewell County communities Zillow tracks: $106,955 in September 2026 [1]. Only about 20 homes sell here in a three-month period [4], so one unusual sale can move the published median. Below are the figures as of our last update, the month each one describes, where it comes from, and what it means if you are buying or selling here.
Zillow's index shows Creve Coeur values rising through the first half of 2026 and then leveling off. The typical home value was $106,955 in September 2026, up 4.6% from $102,279 a year earlier [1]. It climbed from $103,625 in February to $106,993 in June and has barely moved since: $106,926 in July and $106,929 in August.
Redfin publishes Creve Coeur's sales figures as rolling three-month periods. From July to September 2026 it counted 19 sales at a median price of $113,946, 2.6% below the same three months of 2025. The median was $90,930 for October to December 2025, $144,294 for January to March 2026 and $130,000 for April to June [4]. With 17 to 21 sales per period, a few homes at either end of the range can move the median by tens of thousands of dollars. The Zillow index is the better guide to the trend, and recent sales near the address are the better guide to a price.
Homes have been selling quickly. The median home sold after 7 days on market in July to September 2026, compared with 35 days in January to March. The average sale-to-list ratio was 98.0%, and 26% of homes sold above their original list price. Redfin counted 12 homes for sale at the end of September, 1.9 months of supply [4].
For Tazewell County as a whole, Redfin counted 145 sales in September 2026 at a median of $191,571, 1.3% below September 2025, with a median of 19 days on market. County inventory was 15% higher than a year earlier [5]. Across the wider Peoria area, the Peoria Area Association of Realtors (PAAR) reported 1,723 homes sold from April to June 2026, up 14.6% on a year earlier, at an average price of $219,865 [7]. Regional inventory was more than 40% higher than a year earlier [6].

Zillow tracks 18 Tazewell County communities, and in September 2026 Creve Coeur's typical value was the lowest of them [1]. The county as a whole was $189,622, up 6.5% in a year [3], so Creve Coeur's 4.6% gain was a little slower than the county's. Zillow's ZIP code series for 61610, which it assigns to Creve Coeur, gives nearly the same figure: $106,486, up 4.8% [2].
One caution when searching online: Creve Coeur, Missouri, in St. Louis County, shares the name. Zillow put its typical value at $616,827 in September 2026 [1]. Check that any figure you read is for Creve Coeur, Illinois.

Creve Coeur School District 76 runs two schools: LaSalle Elementary and Parkview Junior High [15]. Federal Common Core of Data records list LaSalle at 300 N. Highland St. for pre-kindergarten to 4th grade, with 262 students, and Parkview at 800 Groveland St. for 5th to 8th grade, with 193 students, in the 2024 to 2025 school year [14]. The district total was 455 [13].
District 76 ends at 8th grade. Wikipedia lists Parkview as a feeder school for East Peoria Community High School, the only school in East Peoria Community High School District 309, at 1401 E. Washington St. in East Peoria, with 857 students in 2025 to 2026 [11].
School assignment depends on the exact address, not the ZIP code or the mailing city. We confirm the assigned schools for every property before you write an offer. For test results and other school data, the Illinois State Board of Education publishes a report card for every public school and district [16].
Creve Coeur is a village in Groveland Township, Tazewell County, incorporated in 1921. It had 4,934 residents and 2,408 housing units at the 2020 census and covers 4.55 square miles [9]. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey for 2020 to 2024 estimates 4,621 residents, a median household income of $47,993, an average commute of 16.4 minutes and a homeownership rate of 79.6% [8].
The village sits on the bluffs above the Illinois River, with access to I-74 [17]. CityLink's #23 Pekin Connector bus runs through Creve Coeur between downtown Peoria and downtown Pekin [9]. On 28 October 2026, CityLink said bus service in Creve Coeur along the route will continue and that a stop discontinuation planned for 4 November will not take effect [21]. Across the river, Wikipedia, citing the City of Peoria's 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, lists OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, Caterpillar and Carle Health as Peoria's largest employers [12].
The name is French for "broken heart" and comes from Fort Creve Coeur [9]. La Salle and Henri de Tonti began building Fort Crevecoeur on January 15, 1680, near the present village, and Wikipedia calls it the first public building erected by Europeans within the boundaries of modern Illinois. Members of La Salle's expedition destroyed it on April 16, 1680. Its exact site is still disputed: in 2022, new research placed it south of Beardstown [10].
| Largest employers in Peoria (City's 2023 financial report, via Wikipedia) | Employees |
|---|---|
| OSF Saint Francis Medical Center | 13,500 |
| Caterpillar Inc. | 12,000 |
| Carle Health | 4,991 |
| Peoria Public Schools District 150 | 2,668 |
| Bradley University | 1,300 |
It depends on the measure. Zillow's typical home value for the village was $106,955 in September 2026, up 4.6% in a year [1]. Redfin's median sale price was $113,946 for July to September 2026, based on 19 sales, 2.6% lower than the same three months of 2025 [4]. For Tazewell County as a whole, Redfin's median was $191,571 in September 2026 [5]. Make sure a figure is for Creve Coeur, Illinois: Creve Coeur, Missouri, in St. Louis County, had a Zillow typical value of $616,827 in September 2026 [1].
Recently, not long. The median home sold after 7 days on market in July to September 2026, and after 10 days in April to June, but after 35 days in January to March [4]. Across the wider area, PAAR reported an average of 39 days on market in its second-quarter 2026 report [7]. The two figures measure different things. A median is pulled down by well-priced homes that sell quickly, while an average also counts the slow listings.
Homes are selling fast: the median was 7 days on market in July to September 2026, and 26% of homes sold above their original list price. But the median sale price was 2.6% below the same three months of 2025 [4], and Zillow's index has been nearly flat since June [1]. Across Tazewell County, inventory in September 2026 was 15% higher than a year earlier [5], so buyers have more homes to compare. PAAR's president put it this way: "A home that is priced well for its location in good condition will still sell quickly" [6]. We can walk you through what has sold near your address.
