You can get to New York City and the Jersey Shore in an hour.”

From condominiums to sprawling new traditional homes
In the Hills, various developers built all of the subdivision’s homes between the 90s to the early 2000s. Home types range from 1-bedroom condominiums to sprawling 6-bedroom new traditional homes. Condominiums in the neighborhood typically sell for between $250,000 and $975,000. Townhomes sell for between $400,000 and $1.5 million. Single-family homes usually come in a new-traditional style and have been sold for between the mid $800,000s and $1.9 million. “It’s very desirable,” says Kimberly Kelly, a Realtor with eXp Realty. “Plenty of buyers want to be in that community.” While most subdivision streets have sidewalks, due to the spacious nature of the neighborhood, most residents use cars to get from place to place. As for crime, the CAP Index gave the neighborhood a Crime Score of 2 out of 10, well below the national average.
