Living in close proximity to a fire station may provide a decrease in insurance premiums. When determining an Insurance Service Office score, homes closer to fire departments have better scores. According to a study by ValuePenguin, Texans pay on average 5 percent higher insurance premiums when a fire station is not nearby. It is not immediately known if Cross Creek Ranch residents will get a break on their insurance premiums.
