Sandwiched between Wilshire Woods and French Place, Cherrywood is often included in one of them conversationally, but French Place is actually a part of the Cherrywood neighborhood. There is a very active neighborhood association that prides itself in preserving the friendliness and charm of the area. The neighborhood is known for its annual Art Festival and close proximity to the UT campus. There is also an interesting group of cinder block duplexes, locally dubbed Duplex Nation, built for military officers in the 1940’s. Maplewood Elementary is highly regarded, as is the Open Door Preschool next door.
The Cherrywood neighborhood is located between Wilshire Boulevard (North), Manor Road (South), Airport Boulevard (East), and Interstate 35 (West).
The children attend AISD schools with Maplewood Elementary, Kealing Middle School and McCallum High.
