Forest Hills is a small town that really hasn’t changed much since the 1950s. The small downtown area has some medium sized office buildings and some shops. The town centre features a nice, but small park with a church. Although rather cut off, Forest Hills keeps on attracting more and more sims. Maybe future growth will change everything, and not necessarily for the good? The town is located on the top of a hill, called Forest Hill (hence the name). The climate, whilst very hot and dry like most of...

This means that is does suffer from extremely high temperatures in summer. Even in...

Forest Hills...suburbs, farms and more! Forest Hills’ expansion has been rapid. The result has been a whole load of suburbs. The latest addition to the area is Trentwood. Family homes, small parks and narrow streets make it a perfect place for young families to grow up in. The other side of the hills lays the small farming community of Franklindale. Their main link to Forest Hills, Columbia and Astoria is a rail link that snakes its way through the hills. Ground water pollution has always been an issue in...
