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 The allure of hillside real estate may be superseded by waterfront real estate in some locations, but generally a hillside is an excellent place to build or buy.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.
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. Because hillside real estate is usually also expensive, hillside communities are often comprised of more affluent people who can afford to build and buy there.
