Forest City, North Carolina

Forest City, North Carolina

One of the smaller towns in Rutherford County, Forest City is set in the foothills of western North Carolina.

Due to its elevation and proximity to the mountains, Forest City's climate benefits from its location in an isothermal belt.

To scientists, this means that the area is located at the junction of hills and mountains, which causes warm air to become trapped there.

To you this means more moderate winters and a fall that lasts a bit longer, with more beautiful colors to see, and temperate weather and moderate precipitation all year long.

One of Forest City NC's best attributes is its great location.

Located in the middle of several larger metro areas, Forest City NC has excellent highway access to great cities and spots for outdoor activities. Routes 74 and 74-Alt., connect with Interstates 40, 26 and 85, all within a half an hour drive.

The cities of Charlotte NC, Asheville NC, and Spartanburg SC are all about an hour away, while the large town of Hendersonville NC is about forty-five minutes away.

Forest City has a population of 6,963 people and is located in Rutherford County North Carolina, which has a total population of 63,415 people.
