About Forest Hills

Tudor architecture, leafy streets, and a true neighborhood feel. Forest Hills has become one of Queens's most sought-after corners — a mix of long-time residents and new arrivals drawn by the architecture, the transit, and the everyday convenience. Our agents work these blocks weekly and know which buildings come up, and when.

Market Note

Inventory in Forest Hills is tight and well-priced units move within days. We typically see 25 days on market, about 3% above last year.
