View the April 2003 Gainesville Magazine article about Hillcrest

Hillcrest is a place with a sense of community… a true Florida village.

Modeled after the small southern towns of the last half of the 19th century the true Florida charm is created by tree-lined streets, terraces and front porches built close to the streets. The homes in Hillcrest have lasting design; with elegant tailored exteriors and spacious airy floor plans that provide your family with breathing room and comfort.

Owners will use residential lanes behind the homes for their automobiles, thus creating wonderful public places in front of the homes. The building sites have retained much of their natural setting with three community gazebos as focal points. This well-planned community offers beauty, grace and style, excellent value and a central location.

At Hillcrest you will find custom designed homes built to exacting standards by the highest quality craftsman. Our mandate is to build quality homes with pride and craftsmanship worthy of Old World Artisans.

Our exclusive builders have a collective "lifetime" experience of custom residential design, construction, and sales. We know a home's true success hinges on the collaborative efforts of many people all committed to making a difference.
