Forest Hills
Homes for Sale in Naples, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Forest Hills is an established Naples pocket where the housing stock spans nearly five decades, from 1969 through 2017, with a median build year of 1982. That range means condition and updates do more to set price here than location or square footage alone — a renovated 1980s home and an original one on the same street can present very differently to a buyer.
With 371 homes in the community and just over half (52.4%) recorded as homesteaded, this reads as a market with a solid owner-occupied base rather than one dominated by turnover or short-term holds. For sellers, that supports a steadier pace of listings; for buyers, it means patience and a close look at each home's age-related systems matter more than chasing a specific price point.
Who Forest Hills is best for.
Best for
- Buyers prioritizing a Naples address and willing to evaluate each home's age and condition individually.
- Owner-occupants comfortable in a modest-footprint home (median 1,652 sqft) without amenity fees.
- Buyers planning renovations who see an older build year as an opportunity rather than a drawback.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want new construction or homes built after the community's 2017 upper range.
- Buyers expecting a clubhouse, pool, or other shared amenities as part of the purchase.
- Buyers unwilling to budget for condition-related repairs given the wide 1969–2017 build spread.

The Forest Hills buying strategy.
If we were buying in Forest Hills today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Forest Hills.
Age, size, and what they mean for value
The build-year spread in Forest Hills — 1969 to 2017 — is wide enough that no single description fits the whole community. A median year of 1982 puts a meaningful share of the housing stock at an age where roofs, HVAC systems, and electrical panels are reasonable points to check on any given listing, regardless of how a home shows.
At a median 1,652 square feet, homes here tend toward a modest, efficient footprint rather than sprawling floor plans. Because no community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, whatever draws a buyer to Forest Hills is likely the location and the home itself, not a clubhouse or pool system attached to an HOA.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Forest Hills. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
