This area has moderately hilly terrain and possesses perhaps the most wooded area in Dix Hills including what is known as the 'crazy eights'[citation needed] or 'Sand Mountain', a hilly patch of land located between the Pine Hill/Dix Highway curve and the Long Island Expressway (officially Thornwood Park Preserve and Northpoint Park).Northeast Dix Hills, containing the neighborhoods of Buttonwood, Wagonwheel, and Village Hill, lies north of the Long Island Expressway between Carll's Straight Path/Deforest Road to the west, Commack Road to the east, and the Northern State Parkway to the north. It is bisected by the steep hills of Vanderbilt Parkway. This area is one of the towns hilliest. One peculiar feature of this area is that the eastern part (east of Village Hill Drive – the western half of the loop as it goes back to Vanderbilt Parkway in a semicircle) is considered part of Dix Hills by neighborhood residents even though it technically lies in Commack and the Commack School District as opposed to Dix Hills' Half Hollow Hills. It is home to several small parks as well as Commack Middle School on Vanderbilt and Forest Park Elementary School on Deforest Road (Carll's Straight Path north of Vanderbilt).South Central Dix Hills, comprising North Otsego, lying north of Otsego Avenue, and South Otsego, lying south of the street (whose eastern end ends in Otsego Park) lies between Lincoln Ave and Otsego Park to the east, Deer Park Avenue (Route 231) to the west, the Long Island Expressway to the north and the Deer Park border to the south. Almost completely flat except for the northern end on the expressway, this area contains Candlewood Middle school on Carll's Straight Path, Otsego Elementary School on Otsego Avenue adjacent to the park, and a steep wooded area similar to the Crazy Eights called Highland Park, along the Long Island Expressway, but better known in local youth culture as the 'chicken farms.'North Central Dix Hills is a hilly area bordered by Carll's Straight Path and Deforest Road on the east, Deer Park Avenue on the west, the Northern State Parkway on the north and the Long Island Expressway to the south. Most of this section's population lives in the southern portion south of Vanderbilt Parkway in the Candlewood neighborhood with North Candlewood Path as its main thoroughfare. Most of the area north of it is occupied by Dix Hills Park. The western border is home to 'religion row', an area where several churches, synagogues and mosques line a one-mile stretch of Deer Park Avenue from the Expressway to Vanderbilt Parkway along with Vanderbilt Elementary school, located on Deer Park Avenue just north of Vanderbilt Parkway.Northwest Dix Hills comprises the largest area of Dix Hills, stretching from Deer Park Avenue in the east to Carman Road and Bagatelle Road in the west and the Long Island Expressway and Northern State on the south and north, respectively. With the neighborhoods of Landview, Suncrest and Caledonia, it contains both of Half Hollow Hills' high schools, High School East on Vanderbilt Parkway (Landview) and High School West (Caledonia) on Wolf Hill Road, as well as the school district's Central Office, The Fran Greenspan Administration Center, (formerly known as The Manasquan School) on Half Hollow Road.

All three neighborhoods contain hilly terrain.Southwest Dix Hills is nestled between Deer Park Avenue on the east, Bagatelle Road and the Melville border on the west, the Deer Park and Wheatley Heights borders on the south and the Long Island Expressway on the north. This area features the neighborhoods of South Hollow, north of Ryder Avenue, and Trescott, in between Ryder Avenue and Straight Path, as well as the smaller enclave of Woodlawn, between Straight Path and Deer Park Avenue, right before Straight Path ends into Deer Park Avenue at Straight Path's northern end. Southwest Dix Hills is home to the former Hollow Hills Country Club and Strathmore Park on Ryder Avenue as well as Paumonauk Elementary School on Straight Path on the Deer Park town line. The biggest hill in Dix Hills, on Calumet Drive, lies just east of Burr's Lane and southwest of Ibsen Avenue, which is the steepest street in Dix Hills.North Dix Hills occupies the northernmost section on the border with Elwood and East Northport and is also the smallest, running from Old Country Road in the west, to Swarthmore Lane in the east and Jericho Turnpike and the Northern State Parkway on the north and south respectively. This section is hilly as well and despite being just a few square miles geographically, it is divided up into several sections because Route 231 splits into East Deer Park Avenue and Park Avenue just north of the Northern State Parkway.
