No, Silent Hill is not a real place. The movie version of Silent Hill is actually based on a town in Pennsylvania called Centralia. Apparently, a trash fire accidentally ignited the underground coal deposits in the 60's, and the fires have been burning underneath the town ever since.
Like Hovey, today's settlers have noted that Spring Hill's location can't be beat - it's close to the metro for easy commutes and urban amenities and shopping, but just far south enough to enjoy the quieter pace and close-knit community spirit of a small town. Hovey was drawn to the area's abundant natural resources.
