About us
A quiet, well-kept village a short walk from everything
Forestwood Close is a boutique style development of 30 independent living, high quality one and two bedroom self contained units, each with a private courtyard garden.
The village is in an excellent position for convenience and services. We are only a short walk from the Forest Hill Chase Shopping Centre, with access to shops, banks, supermarkets, public transport, restaurants and theatres.
Forestwood Close is a harmonious community of mature people, who respect each other’s privacy yet can enjoy the friendship which comes through participating in community and group activities. Participation in activities is entirely optional.
One of the real pleasures of living at Forestwood Close is that you can be as social or as private as you choose to be, according to your preferred lifestyle.
The community gardens in the village are beautifully maintained by our qualified gardeners. ‘Garden loving’ residents are also welcome to establish and maintain a garden area around their own unit.
