Little Forest Hills is a neighborhood in east Dallas, Texas (USA). It is south east of White Rock Lake.

History

Development of Little Forest Hills began after White Rock Lake was completed in 1910 with development taking off in the 1930s.[1] The neighborhood's collection of wood-framed 1930s and 40s homes were originally recreational lake houses and hunting cabins.[2] At the time this area was considered the out skirts of town.

The 1980s and 90s saw an influx of artists attracted to the relative affordability of the homes and the close proximity to the lake. The neighborhood soon mirrored it residents whose talent manifested in the colorful landscaping and creative ornamentation. In recent years the neighborhood has experienced gentrification as more affluent professionals have renovated and expanded the smaller homes.
