Forest Hills North Homes for Sale

Forest Hills North is an upscale residential community in Wilmington marked by red brick pillars and antique streetlamps at its entrance. The two-lane road, lined with mature magnolias and oak trees draped in Spanish moss, winds past pristine estates enclosed by ornate iron fencing. Dating back to the 1920s, the area features grand homes in Federal, Greek Revival, Tudor Revival and midcentury ranch styles. Known for its spacious, manicured lawns and architectural charm, Forest Hills North is about 3 miles from downtown Wilmington and close to Cape Fear Country Club, Nir Family YMCA and Independence Mall. The neighborhood includes several small parks, such as Thomas B. Lilly Park and Beaumont Park, and is ideal for walking and biking thanks to wide sidewalks and low speed limits. Forest Hills Global Elementary School, with its Federal-style architecture, complements the neighborhood’s aesthetic. Dining options nearby include Indochine Restaurant, Molly Pitcher's American Grill and Drift Coffee, with additional shopping and restaurants at Independence Mall. Every April, the North Carolina Azalea Festival features several Forest Hills homes. Commuting requires a car, with Market Street providing a direct route to downtown and Wilmington International Airport, which is 4 miles away. Wrightsville Beach is about 8 miles from the neighborhood, and Interstate 40 is nearby for longer trips.
