About Hillman City
Hillman City sits between Columbia City and Seward Park along Rainier Avenue, with a small but growing commercial node of restaurants, coffee shops, and small businesses. The neighborhood has clear momentum as Columbia City buyers spill south.
Housing is largely 1910s–1930s Craftsman bungalows on tree-lined streets, with newer townhome infill near Rainier Avenue. Buyers come for genuine character and pricing still below Columbia City's core blocks.
