Hillsides are usually excellent real estate for homes for several reasons, including access to an unblocked view. The allure of hillside real estate may be superseded by waterfront real estate in some locations, but generally a hillside is an excellent place to build or buy.
A view of the surrounding country is the most common advantage associated with a home built on a hillside. Owners of hillside homes often top the trees that block access to their view.
Tall trees on the high side of a hillside property, which can potentially block the view of neighbors farther up the hill, may sometimes be a source of conflict.
Another advantage of hillside homes is the exclusivity and remoteness that they usually offer. Cities and town centers are rarely built on a hillside; typically they are located on more level ground. A home on a hillside, then, is a way to get away from the city and enjoy rural life.
