Hidden Valley's 1960s housing and New Hope's incentives for home improvement
Most homes in Hidden Valley were built in the 1960s and feature ranch-style or split-level architecture. The neighborhood also has some 1990s-era new traditional homes. Most streets in the neighborhood do not have sidewalks, but the homes do have large, lush yards that are often well-shaded by mature trees. Recently properties have sold from $350,000 to $465,000. The city of New Hope incentivizes homeowners through various programs, including a scattered site housing program, where the city buys lots and sells them to developers to raise property values, and an annual home improvement competition. "Our RAVE! Awards reward residents for improving their property – remodeling the kitchen or having a beautiful yard, things like that," Isenberg says.
