Forest Hills
Serene Charm and Urban Convenience
We’ve always thought of Forest Hills as a little escape within the city. With tree-lined streets, storybook homes, and a calm, residential vibe, it’s the kind of place where time slows down just enough to catch your breath. It’s peaceful, but never boring—and just close enough to the action when you want it.
Forest Hills is renowned for its attractive blend of architectural styles, including Tudor-style homes, classic pre-war buildings, and modern apartment complexes. One of the standout areas is Forest Hills Gardens, a private community designed in the early 20th century featuring stunning Tudor and Georgian-style houses nestled along winding, tree-lined streets. This planned community, inspired by the son of Central Park’s famed designer Olmsted, gives the neighborhood a unique, storybook charm reminiscent of an English village.
Forest Hills is a neighborhood where tranquility meets urban convenience. Whether you’re exploring its historic streets, enjoying a meal at a local eatery, or shopping along Austin Street, Forest Hills offers a peaceful and vibrant community atmosphere. Enjoy your time in this charming Queens neighborhood, where every visit promises a unique and delightful experience.
