I love living in this area, it is close to school, many jobs, grocery stores and all sorts of shopping! Great for children and super safe. Great area to bike, walk, run and get to know you're neighbors. Would totally recommend living in this area. Lots of children for kids to play with.
Forest Hills is an affluent, family friendly area. The schools are rated very highly and there are many extracurricular opportunities for students to participate in. The biggest drawback to living in Forest Hills is the lack of diversity in both race and income. The high costs of housing and taxes make it difficult for most to live in the area. I often worry that the children who grow up in Forest Hills will have an unrealistic view of life after living in such a bubble. The parents in the community are often known as "helicopter parents" because of how much they hover over their children. These parents have a substantial pull in all areas of the community.
I love that Forest HIlls is such a safe community. They have a great school system, and the and it is extremely family friendly. It is quite pricey, and the society as a whole is very affluent. There are lots of opportunities for kids to play sports and participate in clubs, and many school options. There are Spanish Immersion and Mandarin Immersion school programs available nearby. The location is ideal, since it is a few minute's drive from Grand Rapids, but not too close, and relatively close to Lake Michigan.
