Legal Troubles
As the general housing situation of the village of North Hills is private, gated community style living, there is little communal activity. However, in the early 2000's, the mayor decided that the buying of the Deepdale Country Club would make it a better place, and raise home values. Deepdale, whose lands include the former estate of Joseph P. Grace, served the village with legal papers, claiming that they were abusing government power by trying to close a country club for residents only. It is still in court.
