Why Forest Hills?
Forest Hills is a charming historic neighborhood in central queens, heavily inspired by British garden communities of the early 20th century. Located just 15 minutes outside of Manhattan by LIRR, the area first flourished thanks to early establishments like the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium (now an amazing music venue) and developments along Queens Boulevard. Large Tudor-style single families can be found in an area known as The Gardens, and these gorgeous homes help make Forest Hills one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Queens.
