Housing & Dwellings in Forestdale
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Typical monthly mortgage payments of $2,383 make Forestdale a much more expensive place to live than most similar areas. It is a suburb of large, detached houses where very few people rent and most residents own their homes. This creates a housing market that is far more costly than the state or national figures.
