Cherry Valley Real Estate
Cherry Valley is an unincorporated community in Riverside County between Beaumont and Calimesa, north of Interstate 10 — rural-residential in character, with larger parcels, some equestrian and agricultural use, and two age-qualified communities near Highland Springs. Because it is unincorporated, there is no city hall: county services, the Riverside County Sheriff, and Riverside County planning and code enforcement apply. Closed residential sales over the six months through August 2026 ran to a median of about $429,000 across all home types. It is a market Itzel Gonzalez works directly; this page reflects what she actually sees in the MLS, not a syndicated regional feed.
Cherry Valley Real Estate Market Snapshot
Cherry Valley is not broken out separately in the Inland Empire Board of Real Estate’s monthly regional housing report because it does not clear the report’s minimum sales-volume threshold in a typical month. For a community-level read, Itzel pulled closed residential sales directly from CRMLS/Matrix for the trailing six months through August 2026: roughly 58 closed sales at a median near $429,000 across all residential product. That blended figure hides two very different markets. Site-built homes on Cherry Valley’s rural-residential parcels have generally sold in the $450,000 to $690,000 range, with the median of the site-built subset in the mid-$500,000s. Manufactured homes in the area’s 55+ communities have sold from roughly the $190,000s. Treat this as a small-sample, trailing-window figure and ask Itzel for a comparison built on genuinely similar properties — same product type, parcel size, and community — rather than the blended median.

Schools & Commute
Cherry Valley is served by Beaumont Unified School District; confirm the assigned schools for a specific address, since the district’s boundary through the unincorporated area is not the same as any city line. Interstate 10 is a short drive south via Beaumont Avenue or Cherry Valley Boulevard; typical commutes run toward Beaumont, Redlands, and Riverside. There is no rail service in Cherry Valley.
Because Cherry Valley is unincorporated Riverside County, land-use questions run through the county, not a city: zoning, permits, code enforcement, animal-keeping rules, and road maintenance on many streets are county matters, and law enforcement is the Riverside County Sheriff. This affects how you research a property — check the county’s zoning and any Williamson Act (agricultural preserve) contract, well and septic status, and fire-hazard-severity zone rather than a city planning department.
Neighborhoods Within Cherry Valley
Cherry Valley is searched by parcel character and by community:
Rural-residential Cherry Valley — the bulk of the area: site-built single-family homes on parcels from roughly half an acre to several acres, many with room for horses, some with olive trees or small orchards (a legacy of the area’s agricultural history), often on well and septic. This is where the $450,000 to $690,000 range applies.
Highland Springs Village — an age-qualified manufactured-home community where residents own the land (fee-simple, no space rent), with a golf course, lakes, a clubhouse, and a pool.
Highland Springs Country Club — a separate, adjacent 55+ community of about 289 site-built single-family homes built around a golf course. Distinct from Highland Springs Village despite the similar name.
The Highland Springs Resort area — the historic resort and its surroundings at the north end of the community.
Verify a property’s county zoning, every special-tax or assessment line on the tax bill, any HOA, well-vs-water-district and septic-vs-sewer, and school assignment individually, and ask Itzel for a current MLS comparison for genuinely similar properties.
Market data changes frequently and may reflect active listings, closed sales, or automated valuation estimates depending on the source. Buyers and sellers should verify current availability, boundaries, HOA rules, schools, taxes, commute times, and property-specific condition with an agent and the appropriate public agencies.
55+ and Age-Qualified Communities in Cherry Valley
Cherry Valley has two age-qualified communities near Highland Springs Avenue, both of which appear to operate as formally age-restricted communities under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act — the law that lets a community limit occupancy to households with at least one resident aged 55 or older when it meets and continues to meet the Act’s requirements (at least 80 percent of occupied units with a qualifying resident, published age policies, and ongoing age verification). Confirm each community’s current age policy and registered status with its HOA before relying on it.
- Highland Springs Village — a 55+ manufactured-home community where residents own the land rather than leasing a space: listings consistently state “you own the land, no space rent,” and homes on a permanent 433A foundation can qualify for standard FHA or VA financing, unlike a typical space-rent park. Amenities named in listings include a nine-hole golf course with unlimited golf for owners, two fishing ponds, a clubhouse, a heated pool and spa, a fitness center, and tennis and pickleball courts. Homes have recently sold from roughly the $190,000s to the low $300,000s. Confirm the current HOA dues figure (not a space rent) and what it covers.
- Highland Springs Country Club — a separate, adjacent 55+ community of about 289 site-built, fee-simple single-family homes built around a golf course. Despite the similar name, it is a different development from Highland Springs Village, with different home types and a different HOA.
A note on manufactured-home communities generally: where a community leases the land (“space rent”), the monthly rent is an ongoing non-equity cost, FHA and VA financing are generally not available, and the home may be titled as personal property rather than real property. Highland Springs Village is a land-ownership community and does not work that way, but any other Cherry Valley or Pass-area manufactured-home community should be checked for land-lease status and its current space-rent figure before you rely on a payment estimate. Itzel works with buyers and sellers in both Highland Springs communities in English and Spanish.
Common Questions About Cherry Valley Real Estate
What is the median home price in Cherry Valley?
Over the six months ending August 2026, the median home sale price in Cherry Valley was about $429,000, according to a CRMLS/Matrix trailing-six-month pull. A citywide year-over-year comparison is not published because an unincorporated community this small is not tracked month to month. Prices vary widely by neighborhood, home size, and condition, so treat this as a starting point rather than a value for any specific property.
Is Cherry Valley a buyer’s or seller’s market right now?
A clean citywide year-over-year price change is not published for Cherry Valley right now, so there is no reliable buyer’s-versus-seller’s call at the city level. This figure comes from 58 closed sales across all home types over the six months ending August 2026. The more useful signal is at the neighborhood and price-band level, which Itzel tracks weekly in the MLS.
How long are homes taking to sell in Cherry Valley?
A CRMLS/Matrix trailing-six-month pull does not break out a citywide days-on-market figure for Cherry Valley. Pace varies a lot with price range and condition, so ask Itzel for the current median days on market for the kind of home you are buying or selling.
What neighborhoods and communities are in Cherry Valley?
Cherry Valley is usually searched by named community rather than as one citywide market. The most commonly searched include rural-residential Cherry Valley (half-acre-plus parcels) and the Highland Springs area. Each was built in a different era by different builders, so price level, HOA, and any Mello-Roos special tax vary from one to the next; the Cherry Valley page covers them in detail.
Are there Mello-Roos or HOA costs to know about in Cherry Valley?
Most of Cherry Valley is established housing with no community-wide Mello-Roos special tax, and HOA coverage is mixed — some tracts have one, many do not. Because it is set parcel by parcel, confirm any Mello-Roos assessment and HOA dues on the specific property before writing an offer. Itzel checks this for every home she shows.
