Cherry Hill
Neighborhood in Roanoke, Virginia
Roanoke City County 24017
Homes in an established neighborhood
Most homes in Cherry Hill sit on hilly streets lacking curbs or sidewalks and run in the $160,000 to $290,000 range, with ranch-style houses, Cape Cods and split-levels being the dominant styles. Some ranch-style homes include a full basement or a covered carport. Scott Avis, Realtor with MKB Realtors and a Roanoke local, notes that this is a place where people put down roots. “You’ll have four generations of people who attended the same elementary school," he says. "A lot of people stay in Roanoke or come back to Roanoke.”Nearby Strauss Park and other outdoor opportunities
The neighborhood’s closest green space, Strauss Park, is just north in Wilmont. Peter’s Creek runs through the park and flows into Cherry Hill. Here, locals can play on the tennis courts, watch a Little League game at the baseball diamond or take their kids to run around the playground. The city is also making an effort to celebrate its natural beauty by extending the Roanoke River Greenway and putting trailheads throughout the area. The closest trailhead to Cherry Hill is about 2 miles west, leading residents along the Mason Creek Greenway. “The area is really pretty with the valley and the mountains,” Avis says. “There are walking and biking trails along the Roanoke River, and a lot of trails are right off the Blue Ridge Parkway.”College credit at Patrick Henry High School
Students in Cherry Hill are zoned for Roanoke City Public Schools. They can attend Fairview Elementary School and Woodrow Wilson Middle School, which both receive C-plus scores from Niche. Patrick Henry High School, which earns a B from Niche, offers dual-enrollment classes with Virginia Western Community College.Roanoke's festivals
Residents head to downtown Roanoke for various festivities throughout the year. Popular events include the Local Colors Festival, a multicultural event celebrating the city’s diversity; GO Outside Festival, which encourages health, wellness and outdoor recreation; and the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.4 miles to downtown Roanoke
The neighborhood has a large industrial presence and rail lines on its southern border; however, residential streets are mostly separated from them. Cherry Hill also pushes against Salem to the west. Carilion Hospital is Roanoke’s largest employer, and Cherry Hill is just a mile and a half east of the Salem VA Medical Center. Locals can reach downtown Roanoke in about 4 miles by traveling Shenandoah Avenue.Not a large commercial presence
Aside from a few markets and auto parts shops along Shenandoah Avenue, Cherry Hill doesn’t have a large commercial presence. But just outside the neighborhood, there’s a Food Lion for groceries. Downtown Roanoke, with its shops, restaurants, festivals and farmers market, is about 4 miles east of the neighborhood, while the core of Salem is about 4 miles northwest.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
