Suburban-living near downtown Williamsburg
Forest Hill Park is filled as much with eateries as classic home styles. The Colonial National Historical Parkway runs the width of Forest Hill Park, too, emblazoning it with green space. Plus, there's an active element to this neighborhood, with downtown Williamsburg being just one mile away to the west. "People definitely leave their suburban home to go downtown, events are constantly going on," says David Tortolini, a Realtor with eXp Realty who's been working in the Williamsburg market for 13 years. "But it's not like Forest Hill Park is without things to do, either. It has two popular distilleries."
Modern traditionals and Cape Cod style homes
Prices can range from the mid $100,000s up to the mid $500,000s. This variety makes Forest Hill Park welcoming to homebuyers in all stages of life. For example, a two-bedroom midcentury cottage with 800 square feet of living space can go for $125,000. Brick condos from the 1970s pop into view around $200,000. Once homebuyers expand their search into the $500,000s, they’ll see Cape Cods and four-bedroom Modern Traditional homes from the 90s that blend redbrick with white siding, resulting in a timeless look that speaks to Forest Hill Park’s modesty. All around, lawns and old growth trees are present, contributing to a tranquil atmosphere, despite the proximity of commercial amenities.

Highly-rated education at Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools
Matthew Whaley Elementary scores high across a range of Niche categories, from an A-minus in the teachers category to a B-plus overall.

James Blair Middle strikes a decidedly modern look, but it too scores high, with a B-plus in the teachers category. Bruton High continues the trend of solid local schools, with a B-plus overall, and is known for a School of the Arts program, where students can specialize in the literary arts, dance or theater.
Miles of scenic views on The Colonial Parkway
The Colonial National Historical Parkway begins here, and stretches 23 miles east. It’s the sole green space of the neighborhood. One can drive this path, or just as well bike it, giving the parkway an outdoor recreation dimension. The overall aim has been to make it look like a Colonial trail, complete with brick overpasses. This is a place for sightseeing primarily, not for travel, so visitors can expect frequent scenic pull-offs, with views of the James River and York River.
Residents here visit Colonial Parkway, a popular National park within the area.
The long drive on the Colonial Parkway offers scenic views of the seasonal greenery.
