The Forest is a residential subdivision in Jacksonville, in Duval County in Northeast Florida, a city defined by the St. Johns River, its bridges, and a long Atlantic shoreline at the Beaches communities to the east. Much of Jacksonville grew outward in low-density, tree-canopied subdivisions, and a community named The Forest sits within that tradition of wooded, residential streets away from the commercial corridors. Public schools are part of Duval County Public Schools, and the city's park system, river access, and proximity to both I-95 and I-295 give residents of its outer neighborhoods a direct connection to the rest of the region. Naval Station Mayport and Naval Air Station Jacksonville add a strong military presence to the local economy, shaping many of the city's neighborhoods and housing markets.
