What is it like to live in Northwest Hills?
Most homes here were built in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Many have been remodeled, and newer custom builds sit among them, so streets mix ranch-style originals with fresh construction. The rolling terrain gives a lot of properties trees, privacy and, on the higher streets, views.
Far West Boulevard is the neighborhood's main street: groceries, restaurants, a library branch and the everyday errands within a few minutes of home. Mount Bonnell and the Bull Creek greenbelt are close by for a walk or a run.
