Background
A brief history
Hidden Estates was developed between 1985 and 1987 as a mid-sized, residential-focused community. The neighborhood was built as a non-gated alternative, allowing for more direct street access and a traditional neighborhood feel during the early wave of Dr. Phillips development.
