Secluded Hillburn is known for its school district and location
Known as Rockland County's best-kept secret, Hillburn is 42 miles from New York City, tucked between Interstate 87 and state Route 17. The community’s concealed location, highly rated school district, and access to transportation are major draws to the area. Hillburn borders New Jersey and is surrounded by a thick, forested area within the Ramapo Mountains. “Prior to selling there, I would pass through the area and never knew it was there. It’s a very small community, and everyone knows everybody else,” says Tristen Sierra, an associate broker with Real Broker NY, LLC. Sierra has been working in the industry for 8 years. “It's very centrally located, but it's also off the beaten path. No one really knows about it. It's two square miles and a super cute little area.”
This peaceful Hillburn neighborhood is surrounded by dense greenery and scenic hills just outside New York City.
Hillburn homes with white picket fences and patriotic porches reflect classic suburban charm.

Single-family homes in revival styles
Homes are built close together along gridded streets, and some are bordered by sidewalks. Houses are situated on manicured yards, some with backyards big enough for in-ground pools. “Most houses are passed down family to family, given to a child or a cousin,” says Sierra. “Older homes are updated, so you have that old charm with modern utilities.” Residences are mainly single-family homes in the Dutch Colonial Revival, Colonial Revival and minimal traditional styles. Homes range from $260,000 to $600,000.
Surrounded by lush greenery, Hillburn’s residential layout blends suburban charm with mountain seclusion.
