Duke Park or Forest Hills w/ kids??? (neighborhood, living in)

[Zeelee]

Hi,
If you had to choose between living in Duke Park or Forest Hills area w/ small children, which would you choose and why? Thanks

Forest Hills...I think it's a nicer area, and closer to the great restaurants in the Rockwood area, plus you have that great park right there.

I'd go with Duke Park because I like the funkiness of the neighborhood. It's close to the farmer's market and the park, in my opinion, is nicer than the one at Forest Hills.

If you were looking at Forest Hills or Duke Park on a website, which zipcode should you use to search? Thanks!

Duke Park. I love that park/playground. Though the Forest Hills park/playground is pretty snazzy, too. It's my perception that Duke Park would be closer to things if you are walking.
