Forest Hill offers a quaint, small-town oasis within lively New Jersey. Just eight miles from Jersey City and 12 miles from New York City’s bustling neighborhoods and major attractions, Forest Hill offers an abundance of amenities to its residents. New Jersey Transit runs through Forest Hill with multiple Newark Light Rail stations in town. The community’s K-12 students attend Newark Public Schools like Ridge Street Elementary and Park Elementary. This well preserved, pre-World War II neighborhood has beautiful historic homes, as well as newly renovated apartments.
The northern part of the neighborhood is an official historic district, but this history doesn’t end there. Branch Brook Park is the town’s scenic 360-acre park with lakes, bridges, and biking and walking trails.
