Hillcrest Heights is close to D.C amenities with lower home prices
Just over Washington, D.C.’s southern border is Hillcrest Heights, a quaint neighborhood beloved for its unmatched convenience to amenities with the Potomac River as its backdrop.

It’s ideal for those seeking a comfortable, community-oriented lifestyle while being close to the action without the hefty D.C. price tag. “The people, the atmosphere and the location are the best parts of living here,” says Earle Gumbs, past president of the Hillcrest Heights Civic Association and longtime resident. “People are friendly, and everyone watches out for each other.” Come for the convenience, stay for the community in Hillcrest Heights.

Older homes in Good Hope Hills and larger builds in Oxon Run Hills
The quiet neighborhood offers single-family, brick, rambler-style houses, Colonial Revival-style homes, split-levels and town houses. Most were built in the 1950s and ‘60s, ranging from $250,000 to $600,000, perfect for first-time homebuyers or those needing to scale down. Good Hope Hills and Hillcrest Estates subdivisions offer single-family options on the low end, while higher-end homes are predominantly in the Oxon Run Hills and Hillcrest Terrace subdivisions. Lawns are well-kept, and most are fenced-in, great for exercising your green thumb. Most have spacious decks and patios for entertaining, and homes on the higher end boast garages, large basements and open-concept floorplans.

Lush neighborhood parks and fundraising during Community Day Festival
The neighborhood offers plenty of opportunities to explore the outdoors. At Oxon Run Neighborhood Park, enjoy a picnic under the canopy of evergreens, let the kids play or host a barbecue at the pavilion. Or, hike the forested trails at Barnaby Run Park through the scenic meadows and admire the historic landmark Stratford Hall Plantation. A tight-knit community, residents will feel at home at the Hillcrest Heights Community Center, which offers a dance room, gym, playground and basketball court. The center also provides programs for seniors and teens and events for the whole neighborhood.
Hillcrest-Marlow Heights Civic Association has played a pivotal role in shaping the community since the 1970s by advocating for revitalizing Iverson Mall and renovating area schools. “We as a civic association strive to keep the neighborhood up,” Gumbs says. The organization offers a “Clean Up Green Up” initiative, youth scholarships through its “Dollars for Scholars” program. “We’ve given over $1 million in scholarships for young people to go to college,” Gumbs says. “We have fundraisers for the program, and they come back and help us out, and that’s been very fruitful.” The biggest and most popular event is the annual Community Day Festival, uniting residents with food, live music, games and local vendors. “We invite the army band and have a parade and entertainment in the summer,” he says. “It’s a day of celebration.”
