The diverse architecture and convenience of Forest Hills
Just 5 miles from downtown Augusta, Forest Hills is a large neighborhood with classic and modern home styles and diverse recreation. It borders the affluent Summerville historic district and residents enjoy a quiet lifestyle and plenty of walkability. “The military bases draw much interest from people moving in and out,” says Mary Williams, a Realtor with Century 21 Jeff Keller Realty, who has been selling in Augusta for nearly two decades. “With new jobs coming from the cyber security center at Fort Eisenhower, it’s a popular area right now.” The renowned Forest Hills Golf Club takes up a considerable portion of Forest Hills. There’s also a shopping area in the southern section of the neighborhood. Besides the eclectic and sometimes historic architecture, residents of Forest Hills enjoy the community for its convenience.
