“Keep Little Forest Hills Funky” is the unofficial motto for this corner of East Dallas that prides itself on being a tad quirkier — and more fun— than most other neighborhoods in the city. An eclectic mix of both people and houses is its hallmark, but it’s the ready access to the many attractions of White Rock Lake that make its location hard to beat.
