University Hills puts you on Riverside’s eastern slopes, where campus energy meets open‑space calm. Steps from the University of California, Riverside and its lush UCR Botanic Gardens, the neighborhood favors morning trail runs and twilight outlooks as much as lecture halls and labs. Trailheads into Box Springs Mountain Reserve promise wide views and quick escapes, with the iconic Two Trees just up the ridge.
Daily errands feel easy, too. Near Canyon Crest, Canyon Crest Towne Centre anchors shopping and dining, while Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park adds miles of single‑track and seasonal wildflowers. Commuters appreciate quick connections to the 60/215 and 91, plus the conveniences of greater Riverside and adjacent Moreno Valley.
Families value the strong school pipeline through the Riverside Unified School District, including University Heights Middle School and John W. North High School. Housing spans efficient condos and townhomes to view‑forward hillside residences, and steady demand from faculty, staff, and students creates both neighborhood stability and solid rental potential.
Whether you’re drawn by the trails, the campus, or the city’s cultural calendar, University Hills balances everyday ease with a sense of discovery.
