Forest Acres: Where the Midlands Comes to Shop
Home to small and locally owned boutiques to coveted and popular national brands alike , Forest Acres is known for its premier shopping district.
You can find clothing, furniture, toys, shoes, art, antiques, and gifts in Forest Acres. There is a diverse shopping atmosphere to meet all tastes.
Though Forest Acres maintains its treasured small-town feel within the residential areas of the city, the main thoroughfares of Forest Drive, Trenholm Road and Beltline Boulevard generate enough traffic to support a quality and scale of shopping not frequently found in small towns.
