What Drives Forest Hills Pricing

Forest Hills Public Schools is the engine. Parents relocating to the Grand Rapids metro who prioritize school district quality consistently evaluate Forest Hills alongside East Grand Rapids — two of Kent County's premier districts. Forest Hills covers a larger geography than EGR, offering a wider price range: buyers priced out of EGR ($654K–$745K median) often find Forest Hills delivers comparable school quality at more accessible price points. The Cascade corridor at the western edge of Forest Hills Township tends toward the highest prices ($500K–$1.5M+), while communities farther east are more accessible.
