I've grown up in Forest Acres my whole life and I love everything about it. The community is really close together and you see people all the time that you already know, everyone is nice and friendly to each other. Even though we are a suburb of Columbia, I feel like Forest Acres is its only little community separate from everything else. The neighborhoods are always taken care of, the businesses around here are top notch and the food is always on point, no matter where you go. I am beyond proud to call this place my hometown, there is no other place like Forest Acres, it is truly home to me.
