Sherman Acres runs along the eastern edge of Pleasant Hill, bordering the Iron Horse Trail. Slightly larger lots than Poets Corner, fewer through-streets, and a strong community feel — blockwatches, summer block parties, the whole bit.
Most Sherman Acres homes are 1960s–1970s single-family — 3- and 4-bedroom ranch and split-level, 2,000–2,600 sqft, on 8,000–10,000 sqft lots. Median around $1.15M.
Iron Horse Trail access is a big draw — runs right along the eastern edge. Families bike to school, adults run, dog-walkers make it a destination. Hidden lifestyle benefit many buyers miss at first pass.
School-wise, Sherman Acres feeds Strandwood Elementary, Valley View Middle, and College Park High. The elementary feeder is arguably the strongest in PH.
