Hillandale is located in Maryland on both sides of New Hampshire Avenue north of the Capital Beltway in Montgomery and Prince George's counties (view the map). This site is dedicated to providing you with information about the community and is maintained by the Hillandale Citizens Association (HCA) which was established in 1937.

Community News

HCA Community Meeting Town Hall and Election

On June 12th, community members in attendance voted for the new slate of candidates for the HCA board and approved the updated constitution and bylaws. The town hall discussion was very helpful for us as we plan our activities and how HCA can advance our mutual goals. Many of the past board members will continue their service for another two year term and we welcome those new to the board. Several of the new board members are folks who recently moved to the Hillandale community and have small children. The HCA Nominating Committee successfully worked to recruit people who represent the full diversity of Hillandale.

HCA Membership

The Hillandale Executive Board is excited about our future and we want you to be part of it! All of our board members are unpaid but dedicated volunteers. Please consider joining the HCA.

• Mission: The main goal of the HCA is to help make Hillandale a better, safer and more enriching environment for you and your family.
• Public Forum: Consider the HCA as your source for learning about developments in the community and for speaking out on neighborhood issues that concern you.
• Advocacy: The HCA advocates for the interests of the Hillandale community before the County Council and other venues.

Our modest budget supports all of the above as well as the Hillandale Bulletin which is mailed free-of-charge to all Hillandale households. We are still a very active neighborhood association with a history that goes back decades. Each year we solicit a voluntary $20 dues contribution from all households in the greater Hillandale community. Although not mandatory, the money helps cover our basic operating expenses each year and pay for community activities such as the holiday party and National Night Out.
