Located on the western side of Honore Avenue across from Fruitville Elementary School, Cedar Hollow is a pleasant, cozy community. Once an orange grove, it was developed in 1984, offering affordable homes for growing families. Twenty-five years later it continues to appeal to households with children, with home values ranging from the low $200,000s to the mid-$300,000s
Cedar Hollow is surrounded by greenery. Its northeast section borders the Palm-Roberts Memorial park cemetery. To the west, a sizeable preserve separates it from the grounds of McIntosh Middle School. With curving, meandering roads and larger lots than most newly built subdivisions, the neighborhood has an open, spacious feel.
