Forest Hills sits in the gently rolling hills of Hernando County, a quieter corner of Brooksville where established homes share the landscape with newer master-planned pockets like Southern Hills Plantation and Trillium. The pace here is unhurried, the lots tend to run larger than what you'd find closer to the coast, and the whole area is zoned to Hernando High School. It's the kind of place where you trade traffic for elbow room while staying within about an hour of downtown Tampa.
For buyers, this is a thin, deliberate market. There's just one active listing right now at $524,000, and over the past 12 months only six homes changed hands at a median sold price of $470,000. Sellers have been holding firm — averaging 98% of asking — but with a median of 99 days on market, patient buyers still have room to negotiate.
Forest Hills is a community in Brooksville, Florida.

Forest Hills FAQs
Is Forest Hills a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want space and a slower pace while keeping Tampa within reach — downtown is about 60 minutes away. The area is anchored by established and master-planned communities like Southern Hills Plantation, and homes are zoned to Hernando High School. It's a trade of urban convenience for room to breathe.
Is Forest Hills expensive?+
It sits in the mid-to-upper range for the Brooksville area, with the current active listing at $524,000 and a median sold price of $470,000 over the last year. At roughly $312 per square foot, you're paying more for larger, often newer homes than the county average. That said, it's still well below coastal Florida pricing.
What do homes cost in Forest Hills?+
The single active listing is priced at $524,000, and the median size in the area runs about 1,678 square feet. Over the past 12 months, six homes sold at a median price of $470,000. You can see current availability on the live map.
How is the market right now?+
Inventory is very tight — just one home is active at the moment — and only six sold over the past year, so this is a low-volume market. Homes take a median of 99 days to sell, but sellers are still getting about 98% of their asking price. Patience matters more than speed here.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Property taxes run a median of about $5,477 per year in Forest Hills. HOA figures vary by community and aren't consistently reported for the area, so it's worth confirming dues for specific neighborhoods like Trillium or Cascades At Southern Hills before you make an offer.
