Consider Hollin Hills

It’s a great investment in yourself and your future!

Design | Resident Longevity | Activities

Hollin Hills offers a true “sense of community” with an active Citizen’s Association, a “Neighborhood Watch” operated by volunteers who patrol the streets throughout the day and evening, resulting in a very low incidence of crime. There are foot trails that encourage meeting neighbors while hiking or biking as well as a community swimming pool and tennis courts.

The Hollin Hills Design
Hollin Hills defies Robert Frost’s notion that “good fences make good neighbors.” There are no fences in Hollin Hills. Architect Charles Goodman designed each home so that no resident intrudes on the privacy of another. Trees and shrubbery block the sight lines and loosely define lot lines, eliminating the need for obstructive fences.

In planning the community, Architect Charles Goodman gave priority to back yards and private spaces. The simple and elegant houses, were designed with dimensions based on four-foot modular units so size and form could be easily manipulated, and the cost minimized. Architect Goodman and builder Robert Davenport won more than a dozen awards for the design of Hollin Hills, including Parent magazine’s “Best Home for Family Living,” and the prestigious American Institute of Achitects’ “Test of Time Award.”

Resident Longevity
Most of today’s residents have lived in Hollin Hills many years (some are still the orginal owners!), choosing to add-on to their homes to accommodate the needs of expanding families, rather than leaving this community’s unique lifestyle for larger quarters. An active Architectural Review Board ensures that additions preserve the integrity of the original design and the community’s continuity.

Activities
Hollin Hills residents enjoy outdoor living and the many nearby parks offer opportunities for a wide range of activities, including:

• Tennis
• Fishing
• Boating (including boat rental)
• Indoor Ice Skating
• Swimming
• Biking

Within the 30 acres of community parks in the area, there are picnic areas, volleyball field, and playgrounds for children. The bicycle path, which winds its way along the Potomac River from the Mount Vernon Mansion all the way up to Cabin John, Maryland, allows everything from leisurely pedaling, to a challenging 25-mile course.
