Forest City

County: Seminole

Originally settled by Swedish settlers, the community known as Forest City is an unincorporated development in Seminole County.  Newcomers to this area can choose from a growing number of residential developments and subdivisions that offer homes in a wide range of architectural styles and price ranges.  Close to home, residents enjoy more than 20 public parks and more than 4,000 acres of nature preserves.  Many of these pristine recreational environments are situated along the shoreline of lakes and scenic rivers.  The Wekiva River and St. Johns River offer retreats filled with natural sounds, breathtaking views, and native wildlife.  Nearby attractions include the Central Florida Zoo, creating a habitat for an array of animals shaded by towering cypress trees, mighty oaks, and swaying palms.  Lake Monroe is famous for its annual regattas as well as recreational activities.  Regional cultural highlights include the St. Lucia Festival, Lake Mary-Heathrow Festival of the arts, Altamonte Springs Amphitheater, and the Geneva Museum.
