Forestville offers affordability and a suburban escape
Forestville is one of those Washington, D.C. suburbs that’s been directly affected by the reshaping of that city’s residential market. As people in the city have shuffled where they live, some have left the confines of urban living altogether and opted for the suburban lifestyle, and a place like Forestville offers. “A lot of people who are leaving D.C. for an affordable suburban life might choose Forestville,” says Tiffany Stone, a Realtor with RE/Max. “It’s very close to Washington. I would say most of the people who are choosing to leave Washington and move to the suburbs want to be in a place that’s convenient. Forestville literally feels like an extension of DC.”
The community has ranch-style homes, Cape Cods and apartments
Not far from Upper Marlboro and District Heights, Forestville is a mix of garden apartments and single-family homes. “It has small Cape Cods and ranch-style houses and ramblers. There are a lot of town house communities there too,” Stone says. The homes sit on smaller, neat, well-maintained lots with moderate space between them. 65% of people who reside in Forestville own their homes, while 35% rent. The median home value in Forestville is around $275,000, with houses generally ranging from the low $200,000s to mid-$300,000s. “Most starter homes, smaller homes and town homes are in the $300,000s,” Stone says.

Many stay active at Watkins Regional and Walker Mill Regional parks
While Forestville doesn’t have any parks of its own, its residents frequent a couple that aren’t so far away. Watkins Regional Park has an abundance of recreational amenities, including a miniature train, two playgrounds, playing fields and a walking trail. Walker Mill Regional Park is south of there and a tad closer to Forestville and has barbecue grills, playing fields and courts, picnic tables and a skateboarding area. If those sound like your sort of activities, the Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex might tickle your fancy even better. “You can do everything there. There are exercise facilities, football fields, picnic tables, an indoor track and swimming,” Stone says. “It’s in Landover but very close to Forestville.”
Dining institutions include Ledo's Pizza and Heavens Bakery
