Northwest Hills

Northwest Hills is a wonderful, vibrant neighborhood with stately homes sitting on the edges of 3 large canyons. These canyons create hills and green areas that are like catnip for runners, bikers and hikers. My wife and I live here and personally I think the area is awesome – you’ll find larger family homes with wide streets, huge trees, views and schools that are top rated. It’s just a wonderful area – of course I’m a little biased. We choose Northwest Hills for it’s combination of great schools, relative affordability, beautiful views, wide streets and challenging hills for those rare times I choose to go for a run.

Hope this video give you a greater feel for North West Hills
