Not a kid place or pet friendly place.

These homes were not designed for families. Its more for professionals and retired adults. The manager needs better customer service attitude. The management in the office is extremely rude! I would caution you before you buy a home here. Make sure you read the by-laws word for word, or you might get in some trouble. Other than that its a pretty decent place to live.

Recently Moved from Forrest Lake

by lisansweet at Citysearch

I recently moved to a new home on Pinemont. I lived at Forrest lake from 2002-2008. I can say that the landscaping is very serene, but I moved because their are many restrictions at Forrest Lake. The maintenance crew was very professional. The office manager needed some customer service. I didn't like the fact that there were so many rules. They make everyone aware through the newsletter they provide. The pool is an asset, however I never used it because the cameras made me uneasy. I also moved, because the signs they have posted on the sidewalks, with more rules. Like the comment below, you should visit the community first to witness the No Signs posted around. All I can say is that I regretted living at Forrest Lake, I just needed some thing newer and about the same cost. I love my new and I love the fact that I can have some privacy now.

• Pros: Landscaping, Maintenace Crew
• Cons: Manager's customer service. Too many rules! Not Kid and Friendly Place!

Children and Pets

by Since1981 at Citysearch

I have been a resident of Forrest Lake since 1981. I got my first pet in 1982 when my car burglared. Since then I have had 5 different dogs and 4 different cats. I had only had one problem with one neighbor and it was my fault (new puppy and he barked when I left for work). We worked through the problem and since then the neighbor has commented that she likes the dogs because she always know when someone is around day or night.

I can only speak for pet ownership because I do not have any children. But I do remember when the children were asked not to skateboard or ride bikes on the sidewalks. The request came after toys, skateboards and bikes were left on the sidewalks and caused hazards for our elderly citizens. As for the playground equipment, it is currently being replaced because of age and condition (this was noted in the community newsletter several times).

Forrest Lake is a pet and child friendly community.
