Forest Hill is an exclusive neighborhood situated in central-north Toronto. It was originally the village of Forest Hill, later united with the Village of Swansea and then incorporated into the city of Toronto.

First named Spadina Heights, Forest Hill acquired its name from a vacation home of the late John Wickinson. Forest Hill Village, which is a main part of Forest Hill, takes up majority of the original area of the village, extending from the north at Eglinton Avenue to the south at Heath Street along Spadina Road between Bathurst Street and Avenue Road.

Split into two parts, (Lower and Upper Village) the Lower Forest Hill Village is known for its upscale shopping and dining. It has also drawn a wide range of residential development, with many apartments, as well as the grand homes it is known for.
