The stretch of land in northwest Broward County known as Coral Springs is a thriving community. The city’s dynamic business community, top-rated schools, abundant recreational facilities, and exciting arts community make it one of the best places to live in the Sunshine State.
Living in Coral Springs certainly sounds idyllic, but that doesn’t mean the city is free of risk. And when bad things happen, you want to have quality home insurance that protects your investment and helps you recover quickly.
Unfortunately, some of the things that make Coral Springs so beautiful are also what makes homeowners insurance so expensive. Let’s take a look at why that is and how Kin can help.
How much does home insurance cost in Coral Springs?
The average cost of homeowners insurance in Florida is $2,165 per year, making it the most expensive state in the nation for home insurance costs. The reasons Florida insurance rates keep going up are complicated, but they’ve caused many insurance companies to leave the state – which makes the situation even more difficult for homeowners.
As a Coral Springs homeowner, your rates are probably pretty close to this or possibly even higher because of the risks in your area.

You probably already know that Coral Springs’ weather risks have a significant effect on what local residents pay for home insurance. The city, like all of South Florida, is vulnerable to hurricanes and other severe weather events. According to Risk Factor, 100% of Coral Springs homes have at least some wind risk.
Homes in Coral Springs also face risk of fire and flood, although to a lesser extent than wind. Fire is typically covered by home insurance, but flooding usually isn’t. For that, you likely need additional flood coverage.
High home values also push the cost of homeowners insurance higher. The median home price in Coral Springs is over $550,000, and while market value isn’t the same as replacement cost, the former often reflects the latter. Moreover, Coral Springs’ property crime rate is higher than average when compared to all communities regardless of size.
