The best thing about living here is the space to breathe. When your nearest coffee shop is literally 12 meters from your front door but you've still got a third of an acre to call your own, you know you've found something special. This is small-town living with surprising conveniences — you can grab your morning latte without getting in the car, yet still have room for a proper garden and maybe that workshop you've been dreaming about.

Crime in Forest Crest Add Area is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level.

Estimates use a 6.49% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
