Why Little Forest Hills? The tall trees and gentle hills of Little Forest Hills create a small neighborhood feel on the edge of downtown. With White Rock Lake within walking distance, there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Local Haunts: Check out
Cafe Lago (popular with the lake crowd) and
Bonnie Ruth’s Cafe, which offers sophisticated cuisine and small-town charm.
Who’s Buying: Young families and singles are moving in, particularly local artists.
Schools: DISD schools such as Alex Sanger Elementary and Bryan Adams High School, along with Bishop Lynch High School and St. Bernard of Clairvaux School.
 | "The first house I saw for sale in Little Forest Hills, I bought. It’s the mature trees, the sense of community, the funky architecture, the proximity to the Arboretum and White Rock Lake." —Christie Turner, president of the Little Forest Hills neighborhood association |
