Hidden Hills is located in the north eastern Shea Corridor in a little valley at the base of the McDowell Mountains, which is 36,400 acres of land that is protected and preserved for "a sustainable natural desert habitat for wildlife, desert flora, and appropriate public use". This means to live in Hidden Hills is to live in unspoiled natural beauty.
Hidden Hills offers three custom gated neighborhoods which are in the middle of some of the area's best hiking and equestrian trails are located around this community. Many of the homes in Hidden Hills back up to NAOS (Natural Area Open Space) or to the McDowell Mountain Preserve.
