Cherry Hill Homes for Sale

Cherry Hill, located on the far west side of Roanoke and bordering Salem, is an established neighborhood known for its single-story homes on spacious lots. The area, annexed from Roanoke County in 1976, features hilly streets without curbs or sidewalks, and homes primarily include ranch-style, Cape Cod, and split-level designs. Some properties have full basements or covered carports. Despite a historical exodus due to school zoning changes, many residents have remained for generations. Students attend Roanoke City Public Schools, including Fairview Elementary, Woodrow Wilson Middle, and Patrick Henry High School, which offers dual-enrollment classes. Cherry Hill has a low commercial presence, with a few markets and auto parts shops along Shenandoah Avenue, but residents can find a Food Lion nearby for groceries. Downtown Roanoke, with its shops, restaurants, and festivals, is about 4 miles east, while the core of Salem is 4 miles northwest. Local highlights include Strauss Park in nearby Wilmont, featuring tennis courts, a baseball diamond, and a playground, as well as the Mason Creek Greenway trailhead 2 miles west. The neighborhood is close to the Salem VA Medical Center and has access to various walking and biking trails along the Roanoke River and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Cherry Hill's residential streets are mostly separated from the industrial areas and rail lines on its southern border.
