Inside Forest Hills
Forest Hills sits directly south of White Rock Lake and Garland Road in East Dallas, wrapped around Forest Hills Boulevard and bordering Little Forest Hills. Its streets run between Highland Road and Lakeland Drive, north of the railroad tracks, with many larger homes fronting Garland Road near the lake. It fits buyers who want to be close to White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum with a quieter, wooded setting and a range of home sizes.
The lesson here is that inventory is thin, so preparation wins. Homes.com showed about two months of supply in Forest Hills in October 2026, which it labels a seller's market. Buyers should have financing and inspection plans lined up before the right home lists, and sellers should still price with recent comparable sales, because a home priced above the market can sit even when inventory is low. I help both sides move quickly without skipping the homework.

Forest Hills is in East Dallas between Highland Road and Lakeland Drive, south of Garland Road and White Rock Lake and north of the railroad tracks.
Forest Hills is in Dallas County and Dallas ISD, which with the city, Parkland Hospital and Dallas College came to about 2.23% for tax year 2025 before exemptions. Some lots near creeks and the lake can involve floodplain questions, so I check flood maps and the appraisal record for each address.
