Forest Hills, Population: 15,000 West of the big city, the roofs get shorter, the yards get wider, and fences turn from chainlink to white picket...and you reach the town of Forest Hill. So far, all the other neighbors of Jamestown have felt the knock on effects of expansive growth. Why not Forest Hills? The Hills made rail routes challenging, and limited population did not necessitate complex bus services. The Elevated Rail... Bah...the rich people like it this way! That's why! Mansions. Mansions. Couple more mansions. Even the non-mansions are quite nice. There is a cost of living, and then there is Forest Hills living. The popular narrative for the town's foundations is an old school on main street which attracted scholarly conscientious parents to enroll their little geniuses and scout for residences nearby. Except the private school , Academia Excelsior, was founded in Jamestown decades ago, and took over a former reform school building in Forest Hills when the parents of their students complained about commuting back into the city. But that is not to say Forest Hills is without charms. The Tower doubles both as the city aqua source and a beautiful overlook of the main village. Higher in the Hills, where it would take even more crazy money to develop, much of the land has been conferred to reserves and a growing network of hiking trails meander high above any number of sleepy chateau. --------------- Sigh. I let the game win this one. High Ed, High Medical, High Safety...what does that spell. $$$ Res until you can't stands it no mores! But after some weeding, it's not a terrible town for rich folk. The mainstreet has some mom and pop stores next to the luxury car dealership. The biggest issue here is the traffic that cuts across from Dawnside to Jamestown. Have gone to elaborate ends to extend routes to stop the run over. I hesitate to put tollbooths in...that would really make this a gated community.
