Sunset Hills Neighborhood is nestled in a hilly and wooded area on the near west side. Our homes were built in the mid-fifties and sixties and were designed to respect the topography using a variety of natural materials. The area is now considered to have one of the highest concentrations of exemplary mid-century modern residential architecture in the city and includes homes by several prominent regional architects.

Hoyt Park is a 32 acre park located directly to the north of Sunset Hills and provides a variety of recreational opportunities. The natural landscape includes a mix of young and old-growth vegetation, a network of paved and unpaved hiking trails, unique rock formations, and woodland and prairie ecosystems and includes a playground, basketball court, softball field, and a large grassy clearing suitable for soccer, football, or Frisbee.
