Home Values

The804.com takes a look at 5-year home value appreciation. Two southside neighborhoods get mentions: Westover Hills slots in at 4th lowest in the city at 68%, while Forest View (that little triangle tucked in between Westover Hills Blvd, Forest Hill, and the railroad tracks, which also happens to be your author’s neighborhood) was 4th highest in the city (and apparently 6th in the general metro area) at 125%.

You can decide on your own whether that’s good or bad.

    maybe if some of the more established neighborhoods surrounding forest view and west over court actually worked to make us feel like a part of the community instead of the problem… people would be more apt to take pride in our neighborhood pushing negligent owners to sell and new families to move in…

    Being on the other side of Forest Hill, I sometimes hear and feel your complaint myself. But maybe we can offer suggestions of how that can be done.

    Heather: speaking on behalf of the Forest Hill Neighborhood Association, I can only say that one thing we are is INCLUSIVE. Everyone’s welcome at our meetings and events, regardless of whether or not you live within the “official” boundaries of our neighborhood. (The boundaries are kind of arbitrary and silly, in my humble opinion.) I’d welcome an opportunity to speak with you about any particular concerns you have. Email me if interested.
