Forest Hills
Multi-section lake subdivision
Overview
An established, wooded subdivision on the east side of Lake Livingston between Onalaska and Livingston, with multiple sections and private lake access.
Waterfront / lake access
Direct Lake Livingston location; Forest Hills Section 1 provides a private park with sandy-beach and boat-ramp access.
Typical homes and lot sizes
A mix of 1970s-era lake homes, remodeled houses, newer builds and vacant lots. Lots commonly range from roughly 0.25 acre to 1+ acre; some waterfront/combined properties are larger.
HOA / POA
Section-specific POA structure rather than one simple countywide page. Confirm whether the parcel is in Forest Hills Section 1 or another section and obtain that association's resale documents.
Amenities
Private lakefront park, sandy beach and boat ramp in Section 1; other common-area access may vary by section.
Distance to Livingston
Approximately 10–14 miles / about 15–22 minutes.
Grocery / healthcare proximity
Roughly between Livingston and Onalaska, giving access to both; major shopping and St. Luke's hospital are in Livingston.
School district
Onalaska ISD per Polk Central Appraisal District tax records. Confirm the parcel with the district before you rely on it.
Internet availability
Address-specific; check wired/fixed-wireless providers. Wooded larger lots may require more installation planning than in-town service.
Utilities
Sam Houston EC is typical for electricity. Water provider and sewer/septic vary by section/property; verify taps, septic and trash arrangements.
Boat ramps / marina access
Section 1 private boat ramp and sandy-beach access; confirm eligibility and keys/stickers for other Forest Hills sections.
Restrictions
Recorded deed restrictions apply and differ by section. Review building, use, parking and maintenance requirements with the correct POA.
High for Section 1; medium for blanket statements across all Forest Hills sections.

Before you buy here
Confirm the school district for the parcel with the district itself, not from a mailing address. Get a resale certificate from any HOA or POA. Check broadband at the specific address. For waterfront, review the survey, flood zone, elevation certificate and any dock or bulkhead permits. The Rural Buyer’s Checklist lists who to call.
