Neighborhood rooted in mid-century suburban growth
Part of Northglenn, Hillcrest is a community resulting from the suburban expansion of the 1960s and 1970s. Located about 12 miles north of downtown Denver, the neighborhood is characterized by tree-lined streets and spacious sidewalks in front of ranch and split-level homes. “It’s very much a classic suburb, with all the classic characteristics,” says Sam Cardenas, real estate agent with Re/Max Northwest and longtime resident of Northglenn. “You get good space at a way better price than you would for the same thing in Denver, and so it’s popular with all sorts of people.” With convenient access to major highways, Hillcrest appeals to commuters and those seeking a quiet way of life away from Denver's congestion.
Established homes with classic designs that appeal to residents old and new
Hillcrest is home to predominantly ranch-style houses and other traditional styles like split-levels. Homes have brick exteriors, modest, well-maintained yards, attached garages and basements. “You can find a place big enough for a family,” says Cardenas. “And best of all, it’s usually modestly priced.” Prices generally range from $475,000 to $600,000 for a single-family home, and Hillcrest’s few townhouses and condominiums usually range between $250,000 and $375,000.
