Homes in Sunset Hills draw architectural inspiration from the Tudor Revival, Georgian, Traditional, and Neoclassical styles. Classic one-story, two-story and bungalow brick homes are in abundance with home prices ranging from the low $200s to low $400s. Sunset Hills’ close proximity to downtown make it a desirable neighborhood for those who work downtown or at the university.

It’s also the site of the Running of the Balls, a nationally recognized 5K run through the neighborhood’s lighted Christmas ball display each December, raising funds for Second Harvest Food bank.  The iconic Christmas Balls are a tradition that originated in Sunset Hills and have now spread to other areas of the country, gathering canned goods for local food banks.
