Notable & Unique Neighborhood Characteristics

Real Estate

With a real estate vacancy rate of only 0.0%, the Hemlock Knoll / Hillandale Forest neighborhood has a lower vacancy rate than 100.0% of U.S. neighborhoods, a very elite group. Such a low vacancy rate may indicate very strong real estate demand in the neighborhood combined with some impediments to increasing supply, such as zoning or existing density of development, among other potential reasons.

In addition, some neighborhoods are made up of apartments. Some consist of row houses, and most - by far - consist of a mixture of housing types.

Furthermore, most neighborhoods have a mixture of ages of homes in them, from new to old, but this neighborhood stands out due to its concentration of residential real estate built in one time frame: from 1940 through 1969, generally considered older, well-established homes.

After the end of World War II, as GIs came home, bought newly built homes on the edges of cities with the help of the GI Bill, and began their families.
