Forest Hills is an established suburban neighborhood in Ormond Beach, Volusia County, on the mainland side of the city (neighborhoods.com and NeighborhoodScout profiles, 2026). It is a residential neighborhood rather than a gated or amenity community.
The housing stock is varied: primarily small to mid-size single-family homes, with some manufactured housing in the broader area, ranging from about 925 to 2,166 square feet. Homes have an average size around 1,766 square feet and an average price reported around $445,000, though that average spans a wide range, so treat it as illustrative and comp the specific home.
Many residences were built between 1970 and 1999, with some dating to the 1940s through 1960s, and most are owner-occupied. The neighborhood is close to Ormond Beach conveniences, with the beach a drive east and I-95 a short drive west.
As a mainland neighborhood with little or no community association overhead for most homes, the carrying cost is mostly taxes and insurance. Buyers should confirm any deed restrictions for the specific property, pull the FEMA flood zone for the address, and verify school assignments by address.
