In order to get a well-rounded understanding of what it's like to live in this town, I have included excerpts from four different user reviews on BestPlaces.net.
User Reviews:
1) "Foresthill is a hidden gem in the Sierra Foothills. The community is incredibly supportive and welcoming. The natural beauty of the area is unmatched and there are endless outdoor activities to enjoy. However, the town is quite isolated and there are limited job opportunities. Overall, I love living here and wouldn't want to be anywhere else." - Sarah W.
2) "I've lived in Foresthill my whole life and it's a great place to raise a family. The schools are small and the teachers truly care about their students. There's also a strong sense of community and everyone knows each other. The only downside is that it can get very hot in the summer and there's not much to do for entertainment." - John D.
3) "I moved to Foresthill because I wanted to be surrounded by nature and get away from the city. It's definitely peaceful and the views are amazing. However, the town is quite small and there are limited amenities. If you're someone who needs a lot of stimulation, this may not be the place for you." - Emily K.
4) "I've been living in Foresthill for a year now and I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the scenery is breathtaking and it's a great place to disconnect and recharge. On the other hand, there's not much to do and the town can feel a bit isolated. It's a great place to visit, but I'm not sure if I want to stay here long-term." - Mark S.

Beautiful but awful - 9/8/2017
This is a beautiful area with lots of trees and wildlife. Every summer you are smoked out and pray ther are no fires. You pay outrageous prices for gas and food so you need to do shopping in auburn about 15-20 miles away. They are building lots of new overpriced homes. The sad thing is they are building them next to shacks or other low income housing. They try to sell you but hide the reality of what's going on. It's a lot of crazy people who are loud and have barking dogs, loud parties. It's like living in one huge campground. My parents have lived there for years and are desperately trying to get out due to the noise and plain ignorance of the people. Don't be fooled by the natural beauty. Look very closely at what's really happening and if you say anything you are and outcast. Praying for my

This beautiful TINY TOWN REALL SUCKS.
1. There IS no PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
If you want to get into Auburn, CA really bad you must get to the main road and stick out your thumb. Yeeks.
2. The local super market is grossly overpriced. At a REASONABLE MARKET IN AUBURN A BAG OF SMALL MANDERINES FOR $1.99 Foresthill $6.99.
3. The drive from Aub to FH is about 20 miles, the road has 74 curves on it and 4-5 passing lanes. Every yahoo and or A-HOLE has to get in front of you no matter what, often making you do some serious defensive driving.
I could go on and on, the long time residents up here do not like change period. They will let you know about it making you feel real uncomfortable for your safety.
MY STRONG ADVICE IS STAY AWAY FROM THESE CRAZIES UP HERE. If YOU MUST, DO NOT STOP HERE. DO ALL YOUR SHOPPING AT HOME. GAS IS 50 CENTS MORE UP HERE.
FED UP WITH THESE CREATURES HERE AND CANNOT WAIT TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
TOO BAD,

Small Town - 7/19/2009
Foresthill is a retirement community mostly. It is small and beautiful; with local lakes and rivers. The town itself doesn't have much of an economy, and it is difficult for businesses to survive here. Because of the small population and low enrollment combined with the California budget cuts, the schools have sufferred greatly. It is a sweet place though, and has a nice small town feel for raising your
