Current Hawarden Hills sales data, the estate housing stock along Victoria Avenue, and what a Riverside broker checks before an offer here.
Over the three months ending August 2026, Hawarden Hills homes sold at a median of $737K, down 24.8% year over year, while price per square foot held essentially flat at $346. Only 6 homes sold in August, so the median is moved by which homes happened to sell. Homes that did sell went fast, at a 19 day median and 99.9% of list price.
All metrics are from Redfin's Hawarden Hills (Riverside) neighborhood housing market page, read in a browser session on 2026-09-29. Median sale price and price per square foot are three-month figures ending August 2026; homes sold is the August 2026 count. Redfin shows 19 median days on market versus 57 a year earlier; the -66.7% change is computed from those two figures. Sale-to-list and sold-above-list changes are year-over-year percentage points. Sample sizes are small, so the year-over-year median change mostly reflects the mix of homes sold. The price distribution is a real count of the 12 active listings on Redfin's Hawarden Hills for-sale page on 2026-09-29 (5 under $700K, 1 at $700K to $1M, 3 at $1M to $1.5M, 1 at $1.5M to $2M, 2 at $2M and up), and includes two land parcels.
Hawarden Hills homes sold at a 19 day median and 99.9% of list over the three months ending August 2026. The median fell 24.8% to $737K, but flat price per square foot points to sale mix rather than falling values.
Redfin's median days on market was 19 for the period ending August 2026, versus 57 a year earlier.
The median fell 24.8% while price per square foot held at $346, up 0.1%.

Redfin, citing First Street, shows 82% of Hawarden Hills properties with some wildfire risk over 30 years.
Hawarden Hills is an established residential neighborhood in the city of Riverside, California, just south of downtown off Highway 91. The historic Victoria Avenue parkway borders its northwest edge and the Gage Canal, built to bring water to the area's citrus farms, runs through it. The area was part of Riverside's original 1883 incorporation, and early home sites were large lots used for citrus. Today it is mostly single-family homes on mid-sized and estate lots, much of it built between 1970 and 1990, with a small number of planned developments along Victoria Avenue. Streets follow the hilly terrain, and the Alessandro Arroyo crosses the southern portion. Landmarks on Hawarden Drive include the Orchard House (1917 to 1920) and Greystones (1902).
Victoria Avenue borders the northwest edge of Hawarden Hills and is a City of Riverside landmark. The City of Riverside notes its walking paths and bike trails as recreation for the neighborhood.
Two city landmarks sit on Hawarden Drive: the Orchard House, a Tudor Revival built from 1917 to 1920, and Greystones, a Classical Revival house built in 1902.
The neighborhood is developed primarily with single-family homes on mid-sized and estate lots, much of it built between 1970 and 1990. Streets follow the natural contour of the hills, and small orange groves still exist here.
The Gage Canal runs through Hawarden Hills from the Victoria neighborhood to Arlington Heights. It was built to bring water to the area's citrus farms and is a City of Riverside landmark.
The Alessandro Arroyo, one of six major arroyos in Riverside, runs east to west through the southern portion of the neighborhood. The city describes it as preserving varied areas of plant and animal life.
The City of Riverside lists Poly High School, Gage Middle School, and Washington and Victoria Elementary Schools as serving the area. GreatSchools rates Victoria Elementary 6/10 and Washington Elementary 3/10. Confirm any address on the RUSD school locator.
Homes that sell are moving quickly. Over the three months ending August 2026, the median sale price was $737K with a 19 day median time on market and a 99.9% sale-to-list ratio, per Redfin. Only 6 homes sold in August, so any single month is a thin read.
Redfin's median sale price was $737K for the three months ending August 2026, at $346 per square foot. The range is wide: of 12 active listings on Redfin in late September 2026, five were under $700K and two were $2M or more, including land parcels.
Mostly because of which homes sold. The median fell 24.8% year over year while price per square foot stayed essentially flat at $346, up 0.1%. With only a handful of sales each month, a few smaller homes closing can pull the median down without values actually falling.
Sale terms have firmed up. Homes sold at 99.9% of list over the three months ending August 2026, up 3.3 points year over year, and 33.2% sold above list. Pricing still has to be set against the few true comparables for your lot and size, not the neighborhood median.
The City of Riverside lists Poly High School, Gage Middle School, and Washington and Victoria Elementary Schools as serving the neighborhood. GreatSchools rates Victoria Elementary 6/10 and Washington Elementary 3/10. Attendance can vary by address, so I check the RUSD school locator for the specific home before an offer.
Mostly single-family homes on mid-sized and estate lots, with much of the housing built between 1970 and 1990, plus a small number of planned developments along Victoria Avenue. Older landmarks include the 1902 Greystones and the Orchard House, built from 1917 to 1920, both on Hawarden Drive.
Confirm the school assignment for the exact address, read the preliminary title report for any association or easements, and price insurance early. Redfin, citing First Street, shows 82% of Hawarden Hills properties with some wildfire risk over 30 years. Hillside lots also deserve careful drainage and grading inspections.
