The single most useful fact for anyone evaluating Cherokee Heights is the year-built range: 1961 to 2022. That is a six-decade spread inside one neighborhood, and it means two houses at the same median price of $309,250 can represent very different levels of updating, systems age, and layout. The median build year of 2006 suggests the bulk of inventory skews newer than the range implies, but older homes are still part of the mix and worth extra scrutiny on mechanicals.

Median living space of just over 2,000 square feet is a solid, family-scaled footprint without being oversized, and it holds fairly consistent across the neighborhood regardless of vintage. The homestead share of 73.7% indicates a high proportion of owner-occupied, primary-residence households rather than a rental-heavy or investor-heavy mix, which tends to support steadier upkeep and more predictable resale comparables over time. Long-term appreciation of 74% since 2012 shows the neighborhood has built value over a full cycle, even though the most recent year has been flat.

In a neighborhood spanning six decades of construction, knowing which specific streets and vintages are trading at or above the $309,250 median versus below it is the difference between a fair deal and an overpay. We track those blocks and build years directly against current CPAR closings so you are pricing the actual house in front of you, not the neighborhood average.
