About Hillcrest Heights
Hillcrest Heights is a tiny incorporated town of roughly 0.16 square miles on the Lake Wales Ridge, tucked between Lake Easy and Crooked Lake south of Babson Park. Housing is a small collection of modest homes with citrus and lake views — quiet, rural-residential, and easy to miss on a map. The town's identity centers on its little Town Hall, the Hillcrest Lodge sign on the town green, and the Oak Street stone gate, all on the Ridge Scenic Highway corridor.
