Local Knowledge
A Hillcrest Agent Who Lives Here Too
Hillcrest sits on a gentle rise above the valley, with tree-lined streets, a walkable Main Street, and trails along the ridge. Homes range from 1920s craftsman bungalows and colonials on the flats to newer modern homes with views higher up the hill.
Buyers come for the community feel and the short walk to coffee, shops, and the Saturday market. Sellers benefit from steady demand, since homes here rarely sit for long when they are priced and presented well.

Hillcrest FAQs
What kinds of homes are in Hillcrest?
Mostly single-family homes: craftsman bungalows and colonials from the 1920s through the 1950s on the flats, and newer modern homes on the hillside. A few townhomes sit near Main Street.
How much does a home in Hillcrest cost?
Prices vary with size, condition, and location on the hill. Recent sales have ranged from the high $700s for smaller bungalows to over $2 million for view homes. Claire can give you current numbers for the streets you like.
Is Hillcrest walkable?
Much of it is. Homes on the flats are an easy walk to Main Street, the market, and the park. Higher up the hill, most people drive to Main but walk the ridge trail.
How fast do homes sell in Hillcrest?
Well-priced homes often sell within a few weeks, and the best ones can draw multiple offers in the first weekend. Overpriced homes sit, so pricing matters.
Do you work with buyers moving from out of town?
Yes. Claire offers video tours, detailed neighborhood guidance, and help lining up local lenders and inspectors, so you can buy with confidence from a distance.
