Forest City, Florida - A Great Place to Live! 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I have lived in Forest City for the vast majority of my life and I can't picture calling any where else home. The weather here is wonderful 95% of the time, people in this community are awesome, and there is always something to do!

Forest City is located on the outskirts of Or ...Read More lando. Even though we are in that close of proximity of a metro area, we are still a grand community on our own! There are plenty of parks here for the kids to play at, we have our own school district which is absolutely superb! There are quite a few shops that offer the rare variety of gifts and trinkets, antiques or clothing with brand name labels as well!

I love the variety that we have when looking to dine out for the evening. Pizza, Mexican food, Italian cuisine, traditional Indian dishes, Vietnamese buffet and of course All-American fare are here to satisfy your palate, just to name a few! Read Less
