About Hillcrest Heights
Neighboring Cities: Frostproof | Fort Meade | Highland Park | Lake Wales | Bartow
The residential community of Hillcrest Heights is aptly named, occupying a place on the slopes of Windy Hill, overlooking Crooked Lake. Between the broad blue waters of the lake, and the top of the hill, the 200-foot elevation change places the area among the most scenic places along central Florida's Lake Wales Ridge. Situated seven miles south of Lake Wales, Hillcrest Heights was incorporated as a town in 1923, during the height of Florida's land boom. Today it is a desirable address for those willing to commute to area employers. The town is surrounded by citrus, which also serves as a major local industry. The high, well-drained soil and the warming influence of the lake also provide an ideal micro-climate for citrus. |
