Forest Hills Michigan is Looking for 18 Millionaires

By
Real Estate Agent with Westbrook Realty Broker-Owner

Forest Hills, Michigan is a prestigious place to live, I just didn't realize how

prestigious until I happened upon this website on the internet, CNNMONEY.com

The stats here on Forest Hills, MI were surprising and not surprising.

 18 homes for sale in the million dollar + category.

That surprised me.

I figured there were a few but not that many!

 

That 92.9% of our kids attend public or parocial schools - no surprise there.

Parents in this community prize education and support their school systems

with their tax dollars and volunteer support.

 

78.9% of our days per year are ranked as good for Air Quality by the AQI index.

 No surprise here either, We live in a great area for outdoor sports and activities.

 

136 public golf courses within 30 miles - Gee, guess I better get busy making tee times.

 

1246 restaurants within 15 miles - that figure is surprising, even though I know what great

 eating establishments we have in our communities.  That is 3.4 years of eating out in a

different place every night, considering no new restaurants open up. Whew! Not sure I'm up

for that but nice to know it is available if I get the urge.

 

These stats are just a snap shot of Forest Hills, Michigan. But if you ever have to play

Forest Hills Trivia, you will be prepared.

You snagged me in with that title Terry! :)  I was surprised too...had no idea that there were that many homes in the Million dollar range.  Goodness, I can remember when the first Million dollar property went on to GRAR within the last decade.  It was a big deal...now there are 18 in just one community.  We keep telling folks, this is a great place to buy...the stats are speaking louder than we are. :)

Does Lola need a new home? I think you might like a bigger home and I have just the one for you. By the way what is the payments on 900,000?
