Forest Hills sits in the rolling terrain of Brooksville, where larger lots and mature landscaping set the tone. It's a slower, greener pocket of Hernando County with easy reach to nearby communities like Southern Hills Plantation and Trillium, and it feeds into Hernando High School for families weighing the local schools. If you want space without moving too far from Tampa, this is the kind of place worth a closer look.
The market here is thin and priced for it: just 2 active listings right now, with a median list price of $711,500 and homes that have sold over the past year closer to $470,000. Sellers are getting about 98% of asking, and homes take a median of roughly 50 days to move, so there's room to negotiate but not to lowball.

Straight answers
Forest Hills FAQs
Is Forest Hills a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want larger lots and a quieter pace while staying connected to Tampa, about 60 minutes south. Families often factor in the assignment to Hernando High School and nearby D. S. Parrott Middle School. It's an established, residential part of Brooksville rather than a busy hub.
Is Forest Hills expensive?+
It's on the higher end for the area, with a median list price of $711,500 and active listings ranging from $524,000 to $899,000. That said, homes actually sold over the past year at a median of $470,000, so closing prices have trended well below current asking. Average price per square foot runs about $337.
What do homes cost in Forest Hills?+
Right now there are just 2 active listings between $524,000 and $899,000, with a median list of $711,500 on a typical home around 2,085 sqft. Over the last 12 months, 6 homes sold at a median of $470,000. You can compare them against nearby Cascades At Southern Hills to gauge value.
How is the market in Forest Hills?+
It's a low-inventory market with only 2 homes active and 6 sold in the past year, so choices are limited and timing matters. Homes take a median of about 50 days to sell, and sellers are averaging 98% of their asking price. That balance favors sellers, but the slower pace gives serious buyers time to do their diligence.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Property taxes here run a median of about $7,113 per year, consistent with the higher home values in the area. HOA figures aren't currently reported for this pocket, so confirm dues on a per-property basis, especially in nearby master-planned communities like Hernando Oaks. Your agent can pull the exact numbers before you write an offer.
