Sprawling lots with mature shade trees are the hallmark of this enviable plot that’s nestled at the southern tip end of majestic White Rock Lake. Forest Hills' small-town feel is unique, especially since it’s only 6 miles from downtown. Forest Hills was one of the first developments Dallasites could escape from the city in the 1920s.

Families also adore the beautiful Rory Myer’s Childrens’ Adventure Gardens, which overlooks the White Rock Creek. Residents can get closer to nature by visiting the Dallas Botanical Garden. Those looking to buy can expect large lots, green lawns and lovely tree-lined streets in Forest Hills. It’s easy to see why so many families have called the quaint neighborhood home for decades.
