My husband and I are in love with Cherokee Village, but my question is this... Is it family friendly? I keep reading about it being a retirement com. but what about a family looking to find a quiet, safe place to move? How are the jobs out there?

Hi, we live in Cherokee village and we have seen families with kids and there are schools in the local area. Kids seem to really enjoy it here in the summer with all the water sports that are available. Jobs are available it just depends on what type you are looking for...... Ypu may want to come and visit and see for yourself....

Default Very Family Friendly

We have lived in Cherokee Village for 6 years and love it here. C.V. is part of the quad cities of Highland, Ash Flat, and Hardy. Highland has a great school system, and there are always activities going on that are family friendly. Jobs are pretty much service based. Real estate is still very reasonable. It has the feel of a blue collar retirement area, but more families are moving here all the time. If you have any other questions, ask away.
It would be interesting if we could develop a discussion on the village. It seems there is much said about the NW corner, Bella Vista, and Hot Springs Village. I understand we are a bit more remote than they are, but I look at that as a plus, and see CV as a diamond in the rough. In fact CV was the first community developed by John Cooper, then he developed BV and HSV.
We have seen slower growth, but that can be a good thing for people wanting a slower paced lifestyle.

I sure agree with Royearl that Cherokee Village is a "diamond in the rough" --- and getting more polished up every day. It's great for families in terms of recreation and welcome. There no question about "taking a look for yourself." This is a place with a great future, wonderful history, and solid present. The only drawback is around employment, but I bet that will change too. Nice people. Come see!

Default thanks!

Thanks for putting me at ease. Is it really as beautiful as it seems? We are from Ohio and really looking forward to seeing CV. For some reason it just seems to pull at us. Any info is appreciated.

Hi riterbj,

Come take a visit. There's very reasonable places to stay -- even on the lakes. You will want to spend a few days exploring to really "get the feel." It's not all on the surface, but needs some exploring. Do check CV out! You'll be nicely welcomed.

just dont try and put your boat in the water on lake thunderbird...if you dont live there..angry men with bull horns will yell at you to get of the lake..even if the man at the launch ramp said it was okay...
also expect some rudeness if you arent with the "in crowd" there, according to local from the region when we asked about it.

Did you have some problems in Cherokee Village ?? Is that why you moved to Crowleys Ridge ?

If you like the 4th of July and all the fireworks that is a good time. It's hot that time of the year but the 4th is grate. If not July 4 May or June is not as hot and a nice time if year,
