Hillsborough Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Hillsborough is an excellent village to buy a house in for those who prefer a slower-paced ambience. Hillsborough is very quiet overall, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamour.

Transportation

Driving is a very good means of transportation in Hillsborough. Accessing a parking spot is generally easy. Walking is not very practical for house buyers in this village because very few day-to-day errands can be run without a vehicle. Hillsborough is also not very conducive to bicycling because there are a good number of hills for cyclists to brave, and there are few bike lanes.

Housing

Roughly 45% of homes in Hillsborough were constructed before the 1960s, while many of the remaining buildings were built in the 1960s and the 2000s. In this part of Albert County, most dwellings are single detached homes, but small apartment buildings are also present in the housing stock. Homeowners occupy about 80% of the units in Hillsborough while the rest are rented. This part of Albert County offers mainly four or more bedroom and three bedroom homes.

Services

A car is almost always required in Hillsborough to reach the nearest supermarket. Nevertheless, it is generally a rather short walk to the closest pharmacy, which can supply some staple foods. A small selection of restaurants and coffee shops is available as well. In terms of education, both primary and secondary schools are convenient to reach without a car from any location in Hillsborough. In contrast, it can be very hard to access daycares as a pedestrian.
