Live in Forest Heights and Holly Hills

The line is an association's, and the association is quiet. Forest Heights and Holly Hills is the area the Forest Heights-Holly Hills Area Neighborhood Association filed, as the Tallahassee-Leon County GIS office maps it on its layer of neighborhood and homeowner associations, clipped here to the City limits. It is not a line the City drew, and the layer marks the association inactive: the boundary is still carried, but nothing read shows anyone speaking for it. Inside it are 336 acres north of West Tharpe Street and west of Old Bainbridge Road, around Sharon Road and Raa Avenue, where the 2020 census counted 1,466 residents in 585 homes. No layer read draws either subdivision alone, so this guide does not say where one ends and the other begins.

A 1960s edge of the city, and households rather than students. The City's annexation layer dates every acre inside the line to 1964, and Godby opened across Tharpe Street in 1966. Florida State is about 4.5 km away by road, but the census found 2.51 people to a home and no block shaped like a dormitory. The two census tracts that hold the guide put 15.1% and 11.1% of residents aged three and over in college, with margins of several hundred students; those are the tracts' figures, not the neighborhood's.

The ground is dry on FEMA's maps. Not one 2020 resident lived on a block whose point falls in a special flood hazard area. Zone A covers 0.18% of the acreage, and the reference point is in zone X on a panel effective since 18 August 2009. Flooding here comes from rain, not the sea, and a block point is not an address, so read FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer for the house itself; where a lot is in a zone, the City's Class 5 rating takes 25% off flood insurance. The storms that matter are wind and trees: at Helene's peak in 2024 about 53,000 City utility customers lost power. Old Bainbridge Road, along the eastern end, is one of the County's nine canopy roads. Its 100-foot protection zone, drawn "for planning purposes", covers 0.72% of the area and no 2020 resident; what the canopy road rules permit was not read for this guide.

What a house costs to hold is set citywide. Every parcel inside the line pays the same nine levies, 19.2060 mills for 2025, City, County and schools among them. Homestead takes $25,000 off every levy and a second $25,000 off all but the schools, so a homesteaded house assessed at $250,000 pays about $3,975 a year, against about $4,802 without it. Save Our Homes holds a homestead's assessment to 3% a year until it sells, then resets it, so the seller's bill understates the buyer's; a buyer leaving another Florida homestead may port part of that difference. The City sells the electricity, water, sewer and gas, and its bill carries stormwater at $11.00, garbage at $28.19 and a fire services fee whose amount no page read prints, under a lawsuit since 17 November 2025. No price index follows the line: Zillow's typical value for ZIP code 32303, which holds all of it and 47,000 other people, was $239,971 in August 2026, against $294,444 for the City.

Getting around means a car or an hourly bus. StarMetro's Moss route stops at High Road and Sunset Lane, inside the line, and reaches C.K. Steele Plaza downtown about once an hour at midday; Evergreen runs along Tharpe Street. A trip is $1.25, and no route outside Florida State's campus loops runs more often than every 45 minutes at midday. Publix on Ocala Road and Walmart on North Monroe Street are each about 3 km by road.
