Overview

Hillside occupies the rolling, elevated terrain on the southern approaches to Mount Leonida. Featuring curved residential streets, mid-century homes, and scenic vista points, the neighborhood offers unique elevation changes rarely found in the flat coastal plains. Lush vegetation and elevated properties provide picturesque views over the surrounding county landscape. In gameplay terms, Hillside's sloped roadways and blind corners create challenging driving conditions for high-speed chases. The elevation changes allow vehicles to gain momentum quickly or perform abrupt maneuvers to lose tailing police cruisers. In the real world, Hillside is inspired by the rolling terrain communities of Central Florida's ridge country, where gentle hills and elevated residential roads stand out distinctly from the surrounding coastal flatlands.
