Ten Hills

Ten Hills is a very attractive neighborhood that is located in the southwest section of the city. Uplands Parkway, Edmondson Avenue North Rock Glen Road, South Rock Glen Road and South Wickham Road, generally form the borders of this neighborhood. Homes here tend to be very well maintained detached single family homes located on heavily wooded lots. There are a few multifamily buildings here as well.

Hunting Hills Swim Club is located here as is St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church. Other than that this is a strictly residential neighborhood without any commercial or industrial uses. One of the things that I really like in this neighborhood is Uplands Park. This along with the fact that the neighborhood is heavily wooded, add to the park like feel. Shopping is nearby with Edmondson Village Shopping Center, which is located on Edmondson Avenue, being within walking distance. Although there are no schools within Ten Hills, there are several options nearby including Mount Saint Joseph High School. Access to mass transit is available with numerous bus stops being located here.

Like many neighborhoods in large cities, crimes against people and property can occur at any time and crime rates can vary from street to street and day to day. As always, check recent crime statistics to make an informed decision on any neighborhood you are considering living in or visiting.

I really like Ten Hills and if I were looking for a detached single family home and like trees, this neighborhood would be high on my list. Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think.
