Forrest Lake

Forrest Lake Townhomes is a 243-house community in Northwest Houston, Texas (USA), located within the boundaries of the Greater Inwood Area near Oak Forest. Developed in 1976, Forrest Lake covers with a lake located in the center.
Forrest Lake is more like a neighborhood than a typical townhome community in that homes are spaced out and have streets in front of many of the units.
History
Forrest Lake was so named because it had previously been a small dairy farm owned or operated by a Mr Forrest. The lake may have started off as a farm tank but the developer (Irby Simkins) may have enlarged it and certainly landscaped it well. In those early days after the developer had departed, Forrest Lake had problems with water ingress from the lake.
