Map of Washington, D.C., with Forest Hills highlighted in red

Forest Hills is a quiet and bucolic residential neighborhood in the Northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C., bounded by Connecticut Avenue NW to the west and Rock Creek Park to the north, east, and south.


The neighborhood is frequently mislabeled as Van Ness, both because of then University of the District of Columbia's Van Ness campus (UDC) and because it is served by the Van Ness-UDC station on the Washington Metro's Red Line (Washington Metro).

Transportation

Forest Hills is bound by Connecticut Avenue on the West and Rock Creek Park on the east. The Washington Metro has a stop at Connecticut Avenue and Veazey Terrace, Van Ness-UDC (Washington Metro).

Points of interest

The Howard University Law School campus is across Connecticut Avenue from UDC. The Hillwood Museum is also found here. This Museum is in Marjorie Merriweather Post's house and contains her collection of decorative objects, including several Fabergé eggs.
