Buyer Area Research
Area Overview
Cedar Hill is a rural community and census-designated place in Jefferson County, Missouri. The 2020 Census recorded 1,875 residents in Cedar Hill CDP. The broader northwest Jefferson County area is characterized by hills and valleys and provides regional connections toward St. Louis and Franklin County, with outdoor destinations, local businesses, and recreation throughout the surrounding area.
Safety & Crime
Crime information should be considered at the appropriate geographic level rather than as a characteristic of the property itself. A secondary compilation based on 2024 FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data reports Cedar Hill at 144 violent-crime incidents and 603 property-crime incidents per 100,000 residents, for a combined reported rate of 747 per 100,000. These figures are area-level statistics and should not be interpreted as a prediction of conditions at this property.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office also publishes annual crime reports and notes that reported figures can change as cases are investigated, recategorized, or cleared.
Schools & Education
Nearby schools identified with the property listing include Maple Grove Elementary School for grades K–5, Northwest Valley School for grades 6–8, and Northwest High School for grades 9–12. Northwest High School is located in Cedar Hill at 6005 Cedar Hill Road and serves grades 9–12. School proximity does not by itself establish enrollment assignment, so buyers should confirm current boundaries directly with the school district.
Healthcare & Hospitals
Regional healthcare services include Mercy Hospital Jefferson in Festus, a 251-bed acute-care facility with a 24-hour emergency department and diagnostic, preventive, and restorative healthcare services. Local pharmacy services also include Cedar Hill Drug at 7032 State Route BB in Cedar Hill.
Housing Market History
Cedar Hill housing-market history shows measurable changes in Zillow’s Home Value Index over time. In November 2022, Zillow-based data compiled by Stacker placed Cedar Hill’s typical home value at $247,521, with a reported five-year change of 49.8% and one-year change of 10.2%. Zillow’s July 2026 market data reported a typical Cedar Hill home value of $281,492, up 3.9% over the prior year.
| Period | Zillow Home Value Index | Annual Change | Context |
|---|---|---|---|
| November 2022 | $247,521 | +10.2% | Cedar Hill typical home value; Zillow-based historical snapshot |
| July 2026 | $281,492 | +3.9% | Cedar Hill typical home value; data through July 31, 2026 |
These are comparable Zillow Home Value Index snapshots for Cedar Hill, but they are not a continuous year-by-year series. Historical market data is descriptive and does not predict future property values.
Transportation & Access
Route 30 is a major regional corridor through northwest Jefferson County, connecting communities including Cedar Hill, Byrnes Mill, Dittmer, and House Springs. MoDOT has active and planned Route 30 work in the Jefferson County area, including safety improvements, pavement work, guardrail and signage upgrades, and bridge-related projects. Lambert-St. Louis International Airport is the nearest major airport identified for the Cedar Hill area.
Shopping & Everyday Services

Parks & Recreation
Outdoor recreation is a notable part of the surrounding area. Jefferson County operates Cedar Hill Park, a seven-acre facility with access to the Big River for fishing, canoeing, and floats, along with picnic tables and other amenities. Don Robinson State Park is also located in Cedar Hill and encompasses wooded hillsides, sandstone canyons, shelter caves, glades, forests, picnic areas, and hiking trails.
Utilities & Connectivity
The property itself is served by Ameren electric service, a private well, septic tank, and cable availability. At the broader community level, the Missouri Public Service Commission’s utility locator lists Ameren Missouri as the electric utility serving Cedar Hill. Broadband availability varies by address; FCC-based broadband data compiled for Cedar Hill identifies cable, DSL, fixed-wireless, and satellite options in the community.
Because rural broadband and utility availability can vary from one parcel to another, buyers should confirm service availability, speeds, installation requirements, and utility capacity for the specific property before closing.
Development & Planning
Jefferson County adopted its Visualize Jefferson County Master Plan in November 2025 and is undertaking a comprehensive rewrite of its Unified Development Ordinance to align with that plan. The county also maintains an online planning portal for zone changes, conditional uses, development plans, plats, variances, and related applications.
Transportation planning is also active in the region. MoDOT has Route 30 projects involving pavement, bridge, safety, guardrail, signage, and accessibility improvements in Jefferson and Franklin counties. Project schedules and statuses can change, so buyers considering future development or access should consult the county and MoDOT for the latest information.
