Traditional Neighborhood Development
Image Cherry Hill Village and adjoining Uptown neighborhood will be home to over 500 households as well as retailers, restaurants and a Performing Arts Center. A system of pedestrian-friendly streets and miles of sidewalks and pathways connect the entire community.


Cherry Hill Village was planned and developed on principles of "Traditional Neighborhood Development" or "New Urbanism." One of the hallmarks of traditional neighborhood communities is the variety of home styles (in a variety of colors!) that create a diverse and interesting "streetscape," conveying a sense of space much larger than any one individual house. 

And because most garage entrances are located at the rear or sides of the homes, most homes have a front porch, inviting and enhancing the feeling of small town America.  Some even have white picket fences. 

Because the homes in Cherry Hill Village are as unique as the people that choose to live here, each builder developed a diverse portfolio of historically-inspired homes.   Home range from modest townhouses up to 7500 square foot estate home.

History of the Village
ImageThe area we now call Cherry Hill has been central to this area's development for generations.

Long before the Europeans arrived, the Potawatomie Indians created a trail along a ridge the was the shoreline of an ancient lake. That route, called the Potawatomie Trail; it is now known as Ridge Road. The shoreline was the edge of where Lake Whittelsey used to reach.

By the early 1820s, European settlers came to the Cherry Hill area, establishing one of their first settlements in Canton Township. By 1834, they had had established Cherry Hill with their basic community institutions: a church, a cemetery and a school.

The Cherry Hill Inn was constructed at the intersection of Cherry Hill and Ridge Roads in 1860, becoming the most recent addition to the small, bustling town, which included a creamery and general store. Cherry Hill became the center of commerce and social events for the surrounding area.
