“Paul was referred to me by Chris Smith in his office. Paul was on top of everything and so helpful in showing me properties that we had identified in both Asheville and Hendersonville. There was a lot of ground to cover but I am thrilled with the results. I was Realtor in Florida for 8 years, so I know the importance of a good agent to get a good result. I was pleased with Paul's service through the entire process.”

Learn more about what Forest City has to offer.
Forest City offers residents a charming blend of small-town warmth and vibrant community events, making it a welcoming place to call home.
Forest City balances small‑town ease with big‑weekend energy, where brick storefronts, independent cafés, and a lively event calendar keep Main Street humming. The heart of it all is the multipurpose Town of Forest City, where community programming shines at the Forest City Pavilion On Park Square (POPS). Families cool off at the splash pad by day and spread blankets for concerts and outdoor movies by night, while cyclists and joggers connect via the scenic Thermal Belt Rail Trail.
Education anchors the community. Students benefit from Rutherford County Schools, and lifelong learners tap into workforce programs and university transfer pathways at Isothermal Community College. Local culture spans from classic‑car nostalgia at the Bennett Classics Antique Auto Museum to summer nights under the lights with the Forest City Owls, the town’s Coastal Plain League team.
The holidays bring dazzling light displays and horse‑drawn carriages, a season showcased by Downtown Forest City with festive markets and family activities. Housing options range from century‑old mill homes to new builds near parks and schools, and a steady pipeline of events, recreation, and small‑business growth keeps weekends full without sacrificing the breathing room people move here to enjoy.
Whether you’re buying your first home or preparing to sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a great local real estate agent who knows Forest City’s neighborhoods, schools, and market trends.
