The history of real estate in Hillburn can be traced back to the early 1800s when wealthy landowners began purchasing land in the area. In 1815, John Dix purchased land that would later become known as Dix Hills. Over time, more and more people began moving to Hillburn, drawn by its natural beauty and proximity to New York City. As a result, the town experienced a rapid growth during the late 1800s and early 1900s. This growth led to increased demand for housing, which in turn led to an increase in prices for properties in Hillburn.

Today, real estate remains one of the most important industries in Hillburn. Many of the town's largest estates are still owned by wealthy families who continue to play an important role in shaping its culture and economy. While prices have decreased over time due to market fluctuations, they remain high compared to other areas of Orange County. This has made Hillburn a popular destination for people looking for luxury homes or investment properties.
