Hillandale Real Estate, Washington DC
Tucked inside Georgetown is an exclusive gated community known as Hillandale. Spanning 70 acres and bordered on two sides by Glover Archbold Park, this spacious residential development offers handsome homes for sale and has a secluded yet neighborly feel. The combination of a central location and gated security is an irresistible combination for some of DC’s power brokers, like Janet Yellen—Chairwoman of the Federal Reserve.
The Hillandale community in Washington DC was developed during the late 1980s on land previously owned by heiress Anne Archbold who commissioned her famed Hillandale Villa in 1922. Archbold hosted lavish parties and events at her grand estate with an eclectic array of friends and acquaintances, regardless of class distinction. From European monarchs to literary giants, nurses and servicemen, Hillandale provided an entertaining respite.

Condos for sale in Hillandale have a Colonial townhome look while detached houses tend to present a tall, boxy brick design melding Federal and Colonial influences. And while this may be a master-planned development, the wooded parkland, winding streets, beautifully maintained gardens and even a duck pond, combine to give it a small town feel. It’s no wonder Forbes calls it one of the best gated communities in the nation.
