Cherry Creek is a laid-back neighborhood with parks and varied housing
Cherry Creek is a South Austin neighborhood where life moves at a comfortable pace. Wide streets shaded by mature oak trees give the area an established feel, with roots going back to the mid-1960s. The housing mix includes single-family homes, duplexes and condominiums, many with generously sized yards. Green spaces are easy to reach throughout the neighborhood, from the Stephenson Nature Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary and its hiking trails to Longview Neighborhood Park with its basketball court and picnic tables. The nearby MoPac Expressway is a convenient connection to downtown, which is just about a dozen miles away.
Cherry Creek has pockets of modern homes.

What types of homes and prices to expect in the area
Cherry Creek is full of mostly classic ranches and split-levels, many of them dating to the 1970s. Some have been renovated with quartz countertops, modern fixtures and updated bathrooms. “They’ve been remodeled over time, but still have big established trees and a lot of character,” says Jennifer Buterick Gonzales, who’s a broker associate with Legacy Real Estate Group at Compass and has about a decade of industry experience. You’ll also find some modern, New Traditional-style homes in Cherry Creek, including in the area’s Grand Oaks subdivision. Houses average roughly 1,700 square feet, and lots range anywhere from about one-tenth of an acre to more than a third of an acre. Pricing in the neighborhood varies widely:
Single-family homes typically sell for prices from the upper $200,000s to the upper $900,000s, depending on factors such as square footage and condition.
Duplexes range from the mid-$300,000s to the upper $500,000s.
Condos come with prices from the mid-$200,000s to the upper $300,000s in most cases, with monthly HOA fees anywhere from $85 to $455.

The neighborhood is home to Austin ISD’s Cowan Elementary School and Kocurek Elementary School, and both offer after-school programs.

Nearby eateries, grocery stores and other conveniences
While Cherry Creek is residential by and large, residents are a quick drive, or walk, from restaurants, grocery stores and more. “There is a very strong neighborhood feel in Cherry Creek,” Buterick Gonzales says. “You’re not going to see a ton of commercial businesses and restaurants, but you are within 10 to 20 minutes of really the best that Austin has to offer.” The places to eat close by include:
Maudie's Hacienda, a local Tex-Mex chain with classic enchiladas, margaritas and a lively atmosphere
Madam Mam's Thai Cuisine, a spot known for traditional Thai dishes like panang curry and tom kha soup
CUBA512, a Cuban restaurant featuring ropa vieja, maduros, pressed sandwiches and more, inspired by family recipes
