Little Forest Hills

Little Forest Hills is an East Dallas neighborhood just east of White Rock Lake, between Forest Hills and Casa Linda. It is known for wooded lots, winding streets without much through traffic, and an independent streak you can see in the yard art and porch decorations.

Most of the homes are smaller 1940s and 1950s cottages and ranch homes on lots shaded by big trees, with a growing number of additions and new builds. The White Rock Lake trail and the Dallas Arboretum are a few minutes away.

What I tell buyers here: a lot of the value is in the lot and the trees, so look at both carefully. Ask about drainage, foundation repairs and the age of the sewer line, which mature trees can damage. If you are thinking about adding on or rebuilding, check setbacks and city rules before you buy, not after.

Little Forest Hills is served by Dallas ISD, and assignments can vary by street, so confirm any address with the district. East Dallas is one of my focus areas. If you are relocating and want to compare Little Forest Hills with nearby neighborhoods, call me at (214) 642-2510.
