Forest Hills sits in the green, gently rolling hills of Brooksville, where larger lots and established neighborhoods trade the density of the coast for breathing room. The area connects to well-known nearby communities like Southern Hills Plantation, Hernando Oaks, and Trillium, and families here are typically zoned for Hernando High School and Brooksville Elementary School. You get a quieter, more rural rhythm while downtown Tampa stays about an hour away.
For buyers, this is a thin, high-end slice of the Brooksville market right now — just one active listing at $849,900, so inventory is the real constraint. Over the past year six homes sold here at a median of $412,500, and sellers collected about 99% of asking, which tells you well-priced homes move without much discounting. Expect to be patient and ready: the typical listing took 54 days to find its buyer.

Forest Hills FAQs
Is Forest Hills a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want space, a slower pace, and the rolling landscape Brooksville is known for, all within about an hour of Tampa. Families are typically zoned for Hernando High School, with established communities nearby. The trade-off is a quieter, more rural setting versus coastal convenience.
Is Forest Hills expensive?+
It skews toward the higher end of Brooksville right now, with the single active listing priced at $849,900 and running about $341 per square foot. That said, actual sales over the past year came in far lower, at a median of $412,500, so price depends heavily on the home. Browse Brooksville homes for sale to compare across the broader area.
What do homes cost in Forest Hills?+
The lone active listing is at $849,900 for roughly 2,492 square feet, while the median sold price over the last 12 months was $412,500 across six closings. The gap reflects limited, high-end inventory rather than a sudden jump in values. Check the live map for what's currently available.
How is the market in Forest Hills?+
It's a low-inventory, steady market — just one home is active, and six sold over the past year. Sellers averaged about 99% of asking, and the typical listing took 54 days to go under contract. Well-priced homes move, but you'll want to act when the right one appears.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA figures aren't reported for Forest Hills itself, though nearby planned communities like Spring Ridge often carry their own dues. Property taxes here run a median of about $8,750 per year, which tracks with the area's larger, higher-value homes. Always confirm the exact figures for any specific property before you write an offer.
