Well-built homes in Hillbrook
Located just outside of Spartanburg, Hillbrook is a quiet midcentury suburb that is quickly growing in popularity. “Hillbrook is an older neighborhood, built around the 1950s,” says Realtor Marshal Jordan, a lifelong Spartanburg resident who’s been selling houses in the area for 17 years. “It really came alive in the ‘60s, and it’s been popular ever since.” Brick houses have rested on spacious green lots beneath tall leafy trees for decades, their strong foundations appealing to prospective homebuyers. Known for its convenient location and highly regarded schools, Hillbrook manages to balance a suburban lifestyle with the vibrancy of a nearby city.
Some houses have a great view of the Hillbrook lake in the area.

A residential remove east of Spartanburg
The commercial landscape of Spartanburg recedes when entering Hillbrook, which is made up of about 2.5 miles. “There’s a mix of ranch-style houses and split-levels,” Jordan says. “They’re older homes, mostly ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s, but they were built well, so they’re in high demand.” There are a few splashes of new Modern Traditional constructions mixed in, but they are few and far between. A four-bedroom ranch-style house built in 1975 prices around $275,000, while the price for a four-bedroom split-level built in 1966 begins at $375,000. More uncommon new construction in the Modern Traditional style begins around $540,000. Lot sizes are generous, so there is space in yards for gardening and recreation beneath towering oak trees. There is a small lake sitting in the center of the neighborhood, so waterfront views are available, but these come at a premium. “There’s a lack of inventory that has really upped demand,” Jordan says. “If they’re priced right, houses can sell in as little as two days.”
Most homes in Hillbrook sit on small plots of land.

Spartanburg’s Partners for Active Living
Most streets in Hillbrook do not have sidewalks, so neighbors are more likely to run into each other at the pool or the Little League field. Locals swim laps in the Olympic-sized pool, which has been a community staple for many generations and is the home of the Hillbrook Dolphins swim team. The team has won the city championship trophy 23 times. Right next door, the Hillbrook Little League field is a draw for families on weekends. Projects are currently underway to develop Spartanburg’s walkability. “The nonprofit Partners for Active Living is currently designing a trail system,” Jordan says. “It’ll be one big web so residents can walk the whole county.
