Kitchens in a recreational lake development turned city
Forest Acres grew from a 1920s recreational development around Forest Lake, formerly Dent's Pond, and formally incorporated on Christmas Day 1934 so residents of historic Quinine Hill could access federal water-system funding. Few cities anywhere incorporated specifically to qualify for federal water-system funding.
What that means for a kitchen remodel
A kitchen remodel in Forest Acres is usually a straightforward update, since most of the city's housing postdates its 1920s planned development. A modern-construction specialist can usually estimate this kind of update quickly.
