Established neighborhood bordered by Roanoke and Salem
Bordering Salem, Cherry Hill is an established neighborhood on the far west side of Roanoke without a large commercial presence, an area where single-story properties sit on lots large enough to toss a ball around. The neighborhood was annexed from Roanoke County in 1976, which caused a reaction from some who did not want to become city residents or send their children to city schools, which were thought to be inferior to those in the county. The result was a mass exodus, as many residents sold their homes and moved to Roanoke County or Salem neighborhoods. But those who stayed have been in their houses for a long time.
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.”
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.
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.”
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.
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.
