NC's 7 Hills Business District
Fills Local Shopping Needs
Local shoppers can choose between historic downtown Nevada City and the 7 Hills Business District just a half-mile south.
Anchored by the large SPD Supermarket, the 7 Hills Business District offers a wide range of retail shopping, restaurants, a bakery, health club, nursery and numerous local service businesses.
In the old days, locals referred to the area as the "stores behind SPD," so in 1991, local merchants, working with the Chamber of Commerce, established the identity of the area as the "7 Hills Business District."
Nevada City, like Rome, is built upon seven hills, giving the local merchants a strong geographic identity.
The 7 Hills Business District is located along Zion Street to Gold Flat Road, taking in Argall Way, Searls Avenue, Lower Grass Valley Road and the area across the freeway, including Prospector’s Nursery.
Easy access is via the Gold Flat Road off-ramp from the Golden Center Freeway.
