Living In Forest Park 2 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) I know all it takes it to read one or two reviews and you might want to run from Forest Park. That is for good reason, but it is still good to see some things for yourself. I know this place isn't perfect, but it's home to me and my family and has been for years.

Growing up i ...Read More n Forest Park reminds me that there is much to be wanted outside of these city limits. The crime is terrible, and no one really wants to finish school anymore. I wish I could figure out why, but maybe it's because we have to struggle to get by here.

I think reselling a home at these prices is crazy, and that is the main reason why people hold on to their homes for so long. If you want to have a picture painted of a great starter town, Forest Park might actually get skipped. Think about your safety before you move here. Read Less
I feel racially profiled 0.5 rating By donotmove2forestpark ( Mar 23, 2018) So I had just purchased a used car, the same day a forest park cop pulls me over for a headlight out. I explain to him that I just bought the car and I am taking it to my mechanic so that he can check out the rest of the car. He gives me a $369 ticket.The second case, I bought ...Read More a car out of state with out of state insurance, the insurance was not electronic like it is now, I had a paper insurance card. He impounded my vehicle on my birthday. I had to go to court and pay a fine, not to mention get my vehicle out impound. Needless to say, I got through it $1199 later. Now six years later I receive a notice in the mail telling me that my license has been suspended as of 2 weeks ago for the same thing I already went to court for, not a letter saying that it's going to be but already suspended. Now I am a business owner, my son goes to private school. How on earth am I suppose to sustain my life with this now hanging over my head and when I called the Forest Park Records Department, she tells me that there was a glitch in their system and I just need to be patient. Meantime... to uber my 6 years old to school and go to work is costing me $95 a day Read Less
