Forest Hills is an upscale, historic neighborhood situated just two miles south of downtown Durham, celebrated for its expansive 1920s to mid-century homes and lush rolling landscape. Anchored by the central Forest Hills Park, it provides a tranquil suburban atmosphere immediately adjacent to urban Durham.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
