Forest Hills Gardens is located between Ada Drive and Hall Street just

west of Forest Hills Central High School.  This well established

development of about 200 homes was built in the 1960's and 1970's

with a few of the homes bordering on Paradise Lake, pictured below.

Many of the homes are still occupied by their original owners, though

 the neighborhood is starting to turn over with younger families being

attracted to the quiet neighborhood in an excellent location, close to

 local public and private schools. It is literally walking distance to

Forest Hills Central Middle and High Schools.  Ada Christian is a short

distance away on Ada Drive.  Forest Hills & 28th Street shopping

are just minutes away by car.
