About Forest City
Forest City is a small unincorporated community (~15,000) straddling the Altamonte Springs/Longwood border in southwestern Seminole County — largely residential, with mid-century ranch neighborhoods, townhome communities, and commercial strips along SR 434. It functions as a value suburb: close to Altamonte's retail core, I-4, and the AdventHealth hospital complex, with mostly mid-century ranch and townhome housing stock. The area's history runs back to one of the county's earliest settlements.
