A Big Piece of Land with Great Schools
Forest Hills is located just outside the city of Grand Rapids and provides access to all the amenities of the city while simultaneously giving residents access to world-class schools.
Technically, Forest Hills is an "unincorporated community" that exists primarily for census purposes, but locally "Forest Hills" most commonly refers to the outstanding school district by the same name. It encompasses portions of Ada Township, Grand Rapids Township, Cascade Township, and even parts of the cities of Grand Rapids and Kentwood.
Buyers who want an excellent school system and are searching for property in West Michigan will almost always find themselves asking, "Is it in Forest Hills?"
About this area
Drive through Forest Hills and you'll find yourself in a district that takes up enough land to make you wonder if you're still in the greater Grand Rapids area—and you are, with schools rated solidly at 8.4 out of 10 and a grocery store just 1.8 miles away when you need to actually feed your family. Chief Hazy-Cloud County Park sits less than two miles off, perfect for when the kids need to burn off whatever energy they didn't exhaust at school, and Church Lake is close enough for a weekend trip without requiring an act of Congress.
