Friday Five Hundred: Northaven Traditional is Comfortable, Cute, and Completely Charming

By Joanna England / November 8, 2013 /

Let’s talk about Hill Haven Heights, OK? I love this area. It is a fabulous neighborhood bordered by North Central Expressway, Hillcrest, Forest, and Royal, so it’s extremely accessible.
