Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.

Thinking about a home in Cherokee Trail?I’ll show you what homes nearby are really selling for and which streets fit your budget.

Trail Neighborhood

Cherokee is situated among beautiful wooded scenery across the street from Bryant Lake Regional Park, offering a quiet neighborhood atmosphere.

Residents of Cherokee Trail have easy access to shopping, dining, and recreational amenities including Bryant Lake Regional Park, Eden Prairie Center, Willow Park, Bent Creek Golf Club, and Shady Oak Center. Shady Oak Center is a shopping mall located less than a mile east of Cherokee Trail offering several shopping and dining options.

Residents of Beach Road are served by Independent School District 270 also known as Hopkins Public Schools. Hopkins Public Schools seeks to provide students with a rigorous academic program while fostering a lifelong desire to learn. Students that reside within Eden Prairie, but attending the Hopkins School District attend either Gatewood Elementary School, Hopkins West Junior High, or Hopkins High School.

What buyers check before they tour

  • Age and updates: Ask when the roof, windows, furnace and water heater were last replaced, and plan a thorough inspection.
  • Association: If there’s an HOA, review the fees, what they cover and the reserves before you write an offer.
  • Schools: Confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district, since boundaries can change.
