There’s a neighbourhood for almost every budget, new communities being built on the expanding perimeter, and gorgeous old estates if you really want to make a splash. The city’s once aging population has had a recent rebirth, and people are flocking to the Forest City to take advantage of its location, affordability, and thriving local business scene.
