Cherry Hill is a growing small town in northwest Canton Township

Originally settled in 1825, the town of Cherry Hill didn’t start to take shape until the late 1990s. During its early years, Cherry Hill wasn’t much more than a spot for trips to the local general store, the post office or the blacksmith. Town officials adopted a Master Plan in 1998, with the goal of preserving the area’s history amidst the inevitable development brought on by growth in the surrounding areas. Today, this unincorporated community features modern homes, spas and boutiques, a health clinic, an entertainment venue and more. It’s even got its own subdivisions, like Cherry Hill Village, Rivers Edge and Uptown. While it’s almost entirely residential, this division of the Canton Township is often described as a city within a city. “Their idea was to build a whole community without having to deal with the hustle and bustle of a bigger city,” says Brian Lilly, a realtor with eXp Commercial. “They have their own health clinic, theater, parks. Nobody in Cherry Hill has to go far for anything.”

A range of housing styles in different neighborhoods

Most of the homes in Cherry Hill are modern-traditional and colonial-style builds with brick exteriors, attached garages and ample yard space. They sit on cul-de-sacs and are tucked behind tall trees that shade the well-kept sidewalks below. Construction years range from the late 1970s to as recently as 2024, and prices range from $60,000 to upwards of $3 million. The Cherry Hill Village subdivision features pastel-colored Victorian, Colonial Revival and modern traditional homes built between 2000 and 2005. Lots are generally less than 10,000 square feet. “When we were looking at neighborhoods for our move, Cherry Hill Village was attractive in that it was unlike the other upscale neighborhoods in the Canton area,” says Cherry Hill Village resident James Bryan. “Narrower streets meant slower traffic. And the resemblance to Victorian architecture, the colorful homes and small yards made this seem like a throw-back to a simpler time.” Townhouses and condos here sell between $230,000 and $400,000, while single-family homes sell between $400,000 and $760,000. On the other hand, the homes at Westridge Estates are luxury million-dollar estates on sprawling lots. Most homes in the development were built after 2015. Streets aren’t as walkable, although residents do walk their dogs and take morning strolls.

Dodson Elementary, Liberty Middle and Canton High

Kids can attend schools within the highly rated Plymouth-Canton Community Schools. The district earns an A rating on Niche and is ranked the third-best school district in Wayne County. Students can start at Dodson Elementary, which has an A rating on Niche and is a three-time recipient of Reward School Status, an award given to schools that score in the top 5% for student performance in core classes. Liberty Middle has an A-minus and is known for its student-run credit union program. Canton High is one of the top 50 college preparatory schools in Michigan according to Niche, which awards it an A rating.

Village Theater at Cherry Hill

The Village Theater is a performing and visual arts venue and education center at the center of Cherry Hill that hosts performances by the Canton Community Band, Michigan Shakespeare Company and local schools. There’s also a gallery space within the theater, displaying monthly rotating visual art exhibits. “The theatre is a great asset to the area and was an appealing addition during our house hunting,” Bryan says.

Canton Dog Park, Independence Park and Heritage Park

The Canton Dog Park has 6 acres for four-legged friends to explore. The neighborhood is also adjacent to Independence Park and Heritage Park. Independence Park offers 25 soccer fields and is the primary location of the Canton Cup youth soccer tournament. Heritage Park is a green retreat at the center of the township. During summer months, the splash pad and playscape brim with kids. The amphitheater houses summer concerts and can be booked for private events. Heritage Park also houses Summit on the Park, an indoor community center that has a full gym, swimming pool, basketball court and more.

Shopping and dining on Cherry Hill Road and Ford Road

On Cherry Hill Road, Maraschinos is a popular pub known for having live music on Fridays, karaoke on Saturdays and a relaxed atmosphere at all times. Ford Road offers big box stores like Kroger and Target. There are also major chains like Applebee’s and local spots like Mexican Fiesta.

Directly between Ann Arbor and Detroit

The town is located about 13 miles east of Ann Arbor and 30 miles west of Detroit. “Cherry Hill is close enough to Detroit to take advantage of the sports and cultural activities there, as well as the university activities and medical center in Ann Arbor,” Bryan says. “Having access without dealing with the traffic running through our area is terrific.”

Low crime scores

Cherry Hill has an extremely low CAP Index Crime Score, receiving a score of 1 out of 10, significantly lower than the national average of 4.
