Buyers get bang for their buck in Crestwood
"Crestwood is a very well-balanced community," says John Mendez, a resident and Realtor with 20 years of experience in the market. "You have everything from young newlyweds with children to senior citizens and everything in between. There's a plethora of shopping options, very nice forest preserves and parks, and it's right off a couple of different expressways, so if you're looking to get to downtown Chicago or any other surrounding areas, you can get there quickly and easily." The biggest draw, however, is the value buyers get for their money. "You get good schools, good community amenities, and the real estate taxes are much lower than the surrounding communities."

High demand for Crestwood's low-rise condos and single-family homes
"The housing market has remained very steady," Mendez says. "There's always a high demand for that community." The community has a mix of low-rise condos and single-family homes, offering a range of options to suit different budgets and lifestyles. Condos are often found in three-story brick buildings with a range of architectural influences from throughout the 20th century, some being more traditional and Tudor-influenced and others more contemporary. Most buildings have units with balconies, and many belong to subdivisions like Crestpoint, which is a 55-plus community. Most single-family homes were built in the 1960s through 1980s and are typically brick and come in styles like bungalows, ranch-style and split levels. However, some new constructions are available, generally new traditional-style homes. Prices for condos tend to fall between $100,000 and $200,000, and single-family homes typically fall between $250,000 and $350,000. The median list price in Crestwood is about $170,000.
