Hillside is close to Odessa landmarks
The residential neighborhood of Hillside, Odessa, is surrounded by some of the city’s biggest attractions. “It’s centrally located,” says Realtor Michelle Ortega with All City Real Estate, who has worked in the area for about seven years. “I mean, you get off of 42nd, and there’s the mall.” Sherwood Park, the largest park in Odessa, and the Ector County Coliseum are within 1 mile of the neighborhood. Cudd Energy Services, one of Odessa's oil and gas employers, is about a 6-mile drive. As the center of the Permian Basin, the city is rich in petroleum, natural gas and potassium. The area has become so attractive that 1PointFive, a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum, decided to base its $1 billion carbon capture in the city.
