A City Full of Yearly Festivals! 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Forestville, Maryland is a small city not governed by its local municipalities. It has about 11,200 residents and the cost of living is expensive but worth it due to the quality of homes and amenities provided in the area.

One can expect an average salary of $64,393 and the median home cost valued at $160,000.

The weather in Maryland is comforting all year-round. Summers are interesting and pleasant with the temperatures never rising past 87 degrees. Winters are cold but mild; we get snowfall from time to time, but never more than 13 inches of snow.

Forestville is a lively area and there are plenty of attractions available such as beaches, historic sites, shopping centers, hotels and many destinations many enjoy! In addition, one can only embrace the yearly festivals that are held in the city. Overall, I love living here, by far this one of the liveliest places I have ever lived. Read Less
