Creve Coeur, Illinois, is home to Fort Crevecoeur -- the name translates to "Fort Broken Heart" (sounds sad, we know). No, the name isn't derived from soap-opera-worthy love triangles and messy breakups; the French fort was built in 1860 by explorers Rene Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, and Henri de Tonti as a sign of peace,and the name comes from the trials and tribulations experienced during the build process.
As a suburb of Peoria, the Village of Creve Coeur is considered a part of the Peoria Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Creve Coeur apartments with garages are sometimes more expensive than other options. However, they may make more financial sense in the long run.
Weather, break-ins, and daily struggles to find a space can take a toll financially and physically. Remember that even cities in mild climates experience issues like salt air, tornadoes, hail, falling branches from storms, and other issues.
It’s also possible to score an auto insurance reduction if you park in a garage. Ask your insurance provider about any deals or discounts that could trim money off the cost of your monthly bill.
Before signing a lease, ask the landlord or property manager about any restrictions on garage use. It’s important to know if there are enough spaces for tenants and visitors and what happens if the garage is full. If you’re moving into an apartment inside a home, ask about any conditions on its use and if storage is allowed.
