Nestled along the scenic shores of Lake Sue and Lake Chelton, Forrest Hills is a premier single-family home community in Winter Park. This established neighborhood is known for its peaceful atmosphere, mature tree-lined streets, and an eclectic mix of architectural styles, including charming bungalows, sprawling ranch homes, and magnificent lakefront estates.
Homes in Forrest Hills range from 1,132 to over 7,000 square feet, with construction dating back to 1926 and newer homes built as recently as 2019. Many properties feature spacious layouts, lush landscaping, and stunning water views. Its quiet, private setting offers residents a retreat while remaining close to the vibrant shopping, dining, and cultural attractions of Winter Park and downtown Orlando.
Forrest Hills benefits from its proximity to Park Avenue’s boutiques and cafés, as well as the Orlando Main Street Districts, including Mills 50, Ivanhoe Village, and College Park—each offering unique dining and entertainment options.
