The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Forester
The location is great, but the apartments need updating and is far from luxury. The also aren't very accessible the office, after hours, and emergency maintenance number is all the same and doesn't work at all. And there is a $33 service fee to make a rent payment online and they don't accept any other method of payment. So they are forcing you to pay an extra $33 every time you pay rent.
Property Manager at Forester, Responded To This Review
There have been many new updates at Forester! We would like to invite you back to see how the community has changed. Our online portal has a variety of payment methods, if you need assistance, please contact the leasing office to walk you through this process. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
If you're looking for a place that close to everything, Colonial Village, Timber Crest is a must see. The staff for the most part are helpful and very responsive to maintenance request. It's a great community where you get to know your neighbors. The pool and other amenities are at time not accessible for resident use, which can be inconvenient to say the least.
Heather and Daisy are very nice! They really make you feel at home!
Overall the apartment is okay. The staff is great and helpful. The only thing is I wish the extra $50 added to the rent for cable each month was something that's optional and not mandatory. The apartment units could use a little upgrading.
