Homes for Rent in Forest Highlands, Flagstaff

Forest Highlands in Flagstaff is a gated golf community established in 1987, located 9 miles from downtown at the base of the San Francisco Peaks. The neighborhood is set within a ponderosa pine forest and features the private Forest Highlands Golf Club with two 18-hole courses, two clubhouses, and various fitness amenities. The community includes a mix of retirees and families, primarily second homeowners, and operates on a private sewer system with its own fire station. The Meadow and Canyon golf courses offer scenic views and challenging terrain, while the club also provides a 4-mile rocky path for hiking and mountain biking, pickleball courts, a fitness center, two swimming pools, and a kids’ splash pad. Each course has a clubhouse with dining options, and additional restaurants are located north of the Interstates 40 and 17 interchange. Shopping is available 7 miles north, with grocery stores like Bashas’ and Sprouts Farmers Market, and department stores at the Flagstaff Mall 13 miles northeast.
