Hillcrest Heights was the result of the post World War II suburban boom. The origin of the name came from the neighboring area Hillcrest. It was once a wooded agricultural area but after World War II, became a suburban development boom for homes, apartments, and local businesses.
Apartment shoppers should note that Hillcrest Heights borders the southeast edge of Washington DC - right along the Suitland Parkway and the Capital Beltway (I-495) for a convenient drive to areas within the DC region. The Metrorail Green Line is also available for apartment residents who need access to points throughout the Washington DC region.
Apartment residents who rent in Hillcrest Heights may enjoy nearby attractions that include the Rosecraft Raceway (harness horse racing), Iverson Mall, a midsize 2-level shopping mall, Temple Hills AMC Movie Theater, and the Anacostia Museum.
