Hiltonia is a residential neighborhood of 200-plus detached, single family homes, most of them built in the 1920s and 1930s.
A web search of Homes For Sale in Hiltonia (late October, 2006) turned up 7 properties with asking prices from 292.900 through 459,00. These single family homes ranged from 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 baths to 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths; lot sizes ranged from 0.2 to 0.4 acres.
