More About Forest Hills, Washington, DC
With its gently rolling landscape and manicured front lawns, Forest Hills has deep historical roots, dating first to the Pascataway people and later colonial era farmers and mill owners. Residential development began slowly around the turn of the 20th century and picking up steam with the arrival of an electric streetcar line along Connecticut Avenue.
While gracious older traditional home styles are common in the area, there has also been a fair amount of new construction in recent decades including stone mansions, large Arts and Crafts houses, and some magazine worthy modernist designs from the likes of renowned architects like Richard Neutra and Travis Price.
The combination of a park-like setting with nearby conveniences is one of the community’s calling cards. There’s a string of well-regarded restaurants along the Connecticut Avenue corridor, including Sfoglina Van Ness, Flavor Garden, Italian Pizza Kitchen, Bread Furst, and Thai Pad.
Forest Hills is home to Hillwood Estate Museum & Gardens, Peirce Mill, and numerous foreign embassies and diplomatic missions such as Netherlands, Czech Republic, Hungary, East Timor, and others. Schools in the area include Murch Elementary, Hearst Elementary, Deal Middle School, the private Edmund Burke School, as well as the Howard University of Law.
