Is it worth buying in Forest Hill?

Average temperature is around 67--F, so the weather is moderate. With a population of 13,923, Forest Hill is a small town. Crime rate is something to consider -Forest Hill sits at 276.2 per 100K. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

We moved here with our family and it's exactly what I was looking for. Schools in Cedar Grove area are hit or miss. Kids love it here.

As someone who grew up here, I have mixed feelings honestly. A lot has changed in the past few years though. outdoor recreation used to be much pricey but now it's pretty good.

Bought a house here in 2020 and it was the best decision I ever made. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I love the pace of life here. Internet is solid in most areas.
