Welcome to Hollin Hills

Tapestry of Events 

1. Mid-Century Modern Roots 

Hollin Hills was born in the mid-20th century, a vision brought to life by renowned architect Charles Goodman. His innovative designs blended seamlessly with the natural contours of the land, creating a neighborhood that defied convention. The clean lines, flat roofs, and floor-to-ceiling windows of these mid-century modern homes stand as a testament to creativity and forward-thinking. 

The Goodman Legacy 

Charles Goodman's legacy echoes through every tree-lined street. His commitment to functional beauty and integration with nature shaped the district's character. As you stroll past butterfly roofs and cantilevered decks, you'll feel the spirit of architectural rebellion—a rebellion that embraced light, space, and simplicity. 

A Sense of Belonging 

The Whispering Woods 

Beyond the architectural marvels lies a lush landscape. The Whispering Woods—a communal green space—beckons residents to gather. Children chase fireflies, artists find inspiration under the dappled sunlight, and book clubs discuss literature beneath ancient oaks. It's a place where stories are shared, laughter echoes, and bonds deepen. 

Block Parties and Front Porch Conversations 

Hollin Hills thrives on connection. Block parties spill onto streets, where grills sizzle, music plays, and generations mingle. Front porches become stages for impromptu concerts, and over picket fences, neighbors swap gardening tips and tales of yesteryears. Here, community isn't just a buzzword; it's a way of life. 

Preservation and Progress 

As stewards of history, Hollin Hills residents honor the past while embracing the future. They restore Eichler originals, plant native gardens, and advocate for sustainable living. The district pulses with a shared commitment—to preserve the essence of mid-century charm while evolving with the times.
