Storybrooke has magic because Mr. Gold brought it back after the first curse was broken by dropping the true love potion into the well. It seems Hyperion Heights didn't have any because of the fifth curse. That's also the reason why Hook/Rogers' poisoned heart thing became dormant after the curse was cast but it became active again once Gothel and the coven brought magic to Hyperion Heights. However, it's only when the curse was broken that Roni's magic was no longer blocked due to the curse's restrictions, so she could use magic (as could Weaver). Plus, Storybrooke is an isolated town created by magic. Most of the resididents were aware of magic even if they didn't posess or use it themselves. Hyperion Heights is a neighborhood in Seattle, where numerous non-fairytale residents live. There was always a possiblitity that if magic was present there, it could have fallen into the wrong hands (like a LWM resident that has no prior experiences with magic), and would have messed up Gothel, Drizella or Facilier's plans.
