A small community with great promise
At the eastern edge of Logan, the neighborhood of Hillcrest brings together old and new within its boundaries. Vintage homes line dozens of quiet residential streefts, while a historic cemetery and the state’s land-grant college, Utah State University, have served as local landmarks since the late 19th century. Even the local ice cream shop and breakfast restaurant trace their origins back over a century. However, as Utah State climbs in national collegiate rankings and in enrollment, the rest of Hillcrest is experiencing a revival of its own. New homes are going up where the city meets the desert, and average home values have nearly doubled since 2020. This neighborhood’s location next to the Logan River and the Bear River Mountains adds to its allure. “It’s got access to a number of outdoor activities; everything from skiing to biking, fishing and hiking,” Realtor Justin Udy with Century 21 Everest says, “It’s also a smaller community, so you have a lot of local businesses and a very stable economy.” A combination of historic landmarks, scenic nature and newly developed housing shapes Hillcrest’s unique appeal.

New homes in the hills
Hillcrest’s streets follow a grid pattern, with several roads leading towards the edge of Logan and offering unobstructed views of the nearby mountains. Ranch-style homes predominate along the main roads, but bungalows and New Traditional homes line hillside streets such as Cedar Heights Drive. These mountain roads are an epicenter of new growth. Ranch-style and modern homes built in the 2020s feature panoramic views of snowcapped mountains and the city, while also adding variety to Logan’s typical range of house prices. Hillcrest’s listing prices vary from $376,000 to $1.2 million, with single-story homes built from the 1960s to 1970s filling out the lower tier and new, multi-floor construction fetching higher prices.

Local businesses with long histories
While Hillcrest is home to a large college, it is a primarily residential area, and shopping conveniences are not immediately accessible. The nearest shopping center about 2 miles miles down East 1400 North, and residents can stock their pantries at WinCo Foods and Walmart. Within Hillcrest, a few local restaurants have found loyal customer bases among students and residents alike. Aggie Ice Cream, a student-run creamery founded in 1920, receives rave reviews from patrons of all ages. Similarly historic is Herm’s Inn, which, during the early 20th century, was the famous “first chance” to gas up outside the mouth of the Logan Canyon. This restaurant now brands itself as the “first chance for great food” in the city and is often packed at breakfast time.
Aggie Ice Cream has been around since 1888 at Utah State University, in Hillcrest.

College-centric education
Students can begin their education at Hillcrest Elementary School, which Niche gives a B-minus rating, then go on to the C-plus-rated Mount Logan Middle School and the B-rated Logan High School. Logan High has a strong focus on college prep; from freshman year on, the school prepares students for college or non-collegiate career paths, including through high-technology Medical Anatomy and Physiology courses. Hillcrest is also home to Utah State University, founded in 1888. This public land-grant research university is famous for its military science program and for its Division I athletics, including the school’s strong “Aggies” football team.

Riverside walks and relaxing picnics
Due to its location along the Logan River and the Bear River Mountains, Hillcrest offers immediate access to pristine nature. Nature lovers can make their way down to the Ray Hugie Hydro Park to fish or relax on the banks of the Logan River, while the neighboring Canyon Entrance Park is a popular venue for picnics and canoeing. The Bonneville Shoreline Trail takes hikers from the riverbank north to Green Canyon Drive, with residents having access to that mountain path from a trailhead near Lundstrom Park. Lundstrom Park offers a more laid-back feel, featuring three baseball diamonds, a playground and vast open fields for picnicking and field sports. Hillcrest is also home to the Logan Country Club, which features an 18-hole course and several seasonal events for members and guests.
First Damn is a popular for fishing, kayaking and canoeing, paddle boarding and bridge jumping.

Commuting in the Cache Valley
Hillcrest’s southern border is formed by Highway 89, which takes travelers south towards Salt Lake City and northeast towards Garden City, the lakeside resort town nicknamed the “Caribbean of the Rockies.” Salt Lake City is accessible within an 85-mile and an hour-and-a-half drive, while Garden City is a 38-mile and 50-minute drive away. Logan is also served by Cache Valley Transit, and Hillcrest is home to over a dozen bus stops that connect residents to the rest of the city. The nearest hospital, Logan Regional Hospital, is just 2 miles from the heart of the community.
Hillcrest residents use Highway 89 North to get to Bear Lake in about 45 minutes.
Hillcrest residents can use Highway 89 South to get to Salt Lake City.
