Hileman Heights Homes for Sale

Hileman Heights is a small Altoona neighborhood bordered by the Allegheny Mountains. Developed primarily after World War II, the neighborhood has several apartment complexes and fewer than 100 single family houses. Styles include Cape Cods, ranch-style homes, bungalows and some larger American Foursquare, Colonial Revival and traditional homes. Most homes are well maintained and landscaped yards with seasonal decorations. Many residential streets are named after birds and are lined with mature trees, giving the area a quieter, more contained feel than nearby neighborhoods. Hileman Heights is served by Auburn Area schools, with students attending Pleasant Valley Elementary School, Altoona Area Junior High School and Altoona Area High School. Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic High School is also nearby. Interstate 99 runs along the eastern edge of the neighborhood, providing regional access. People also rely on Altoona’s Amtran bus system. Along Pleasant Valley Boulevard, there is easy access to the VA Medical Center, chain restaurants, fitness centers and retail stores. Downtown Altoona is about 3 miles away and hosts community events. Local recreation options include nearby walking trails and state parks in the surrounding mountains.
