AUSTIN, TX · 78722
The bridge between Hyde Park and East Austin. Cherrywood sits at the intersection of everything: Hyde Park to the west, Mueller to the north, East Austin to the south, UT to the southwest. The Cherrywood Coffeehouse is the neighborhood anchor and the French Legation Museum sits on its southern edge. Housing is a mix of 1930s to 1960s homes with genuine character and mature trees, on a street grid that is walkable and bikeable.
Source: The Relocation Edition, 2025-2026, Mike Vilece's own market commentary as of Q1 2025, not an MLS series. Cherrywood is smaller than a ZIP code, so there is no separate Unlock MLS median published for it the way there is for the ZIP-level areas on this site. Treat this as calibration, not a valuation. For current metro conditions see the Austin housing market data.

Between Hyde Park and East Austin, 8 minutes from downtown. Cherrywood sits at the intersection of everything: Hyde Park west, Mueller north, East Austin south, UT southwest. The Cherrywood Coffeehouse is the neighborhood anchor. The French Legation Museum sits on the southern edge.
It is the Goldilocks option in central-east Austin. Priced above East Austin proper and below Hyde Park, with 1930s to 1960s housing, mature trees and a street grid that actually works on foot. Walk Score 72, bike 82. The Cherrywood Coffeehouse anchors it and the French Legation Museum sits on the southern edge. Q1 2025 median was $700,000.
Austin ISD: Maplewood Elementary 7/10, Garcia YMLA 7/10 and LBJ Early College 7/10. Cherrywood sits where four neighborhoods meet, so attendance boundaries cut through it and a nearby block can fall into a different feeder. Confirm zoning by address before you write an offer.
Yes, genuinely. Walk Score 72, dining 75, groceries 70, errands 70, bike 82. The street grid is the reason. Downtown is 8 minutes and UT is closer than that. Transit scores 45 and parks 65, so it is a walk-and-bike neighborhood rather than a transit one. Being able to reach Hyde Park, Mueller and East Austin on a bike is the real advantage here.
$700,000 was my Q1 2025 read, on a range of $475K to $1.2M. Days on market ran 26, list to pending. No HOA, effective tax ~2.08%. Neighborhood figures from the guide, not an MLS series. That sits between East Austin proper and Hyde Park, which is the whole positioning of the neighborhood.
Cheaper, and less established. Q1 2025 medians were $700,000 in Cherrywood against $875,000 in Hyde Park. Hyde Park gives you the 1891 platting and Avenue B Grocery. Cherrywood gives you a similar street grid with more room in the budget.
No pressure, no pitch. I'll tell you what fits and what doesn't, even when it costs me a sale.
