Answer 3

Hey James,
Thanks for the info. You are right, it does not sound good in English or Spanish. My son is learning Spanish and that is the way he had written it down, and I bet he was trying to say Northern Hills, which is a subdivision close to us. I appreciate your help! I will share this with him later.............

Answer 4

Looks like you have your answer, but "el norte de colinas" doesn't sound like good Spanish to me, and it doesn't really mean "northern hills," which would be "(las) colinas del norte." "El norte de colinas" means "the north of hills." Doesn't sound great in English, either, does it'

Answer 5

That makes sense now. It is related to a subdivision called Northern Hills I bet. Thanks for your help!!

Answer 6

colinas means "hills". in that phrase it means "north hills"
