Forest Mere doesn't give up much about itself, and that in itself is worth knowing before anything else. There's no crime count, no school list, no station name attached to this stretch of the South East to hang a picture on — which means anyone promising you a vivid, specific portrait of its streets would be making it up. What's here instead is a single, quietly useful thread: where it sits on price against its neighbours. Forest Mere falls under Chichester, and the comparison is telling. The national median house price sits at £281,000, the regional figure climbs to £367,500, and Chichester itself benchmarks higher still at £415,000 — a district that already prices above both its own region and the country as a whole. If Forest Mere tracks its parent district at all, you're looking at a corner of the South East that leans toward the expensive end of a market that isn't cheap to begin with, sitting closer to Chichester's costlier bracket than to the national middle. That's genuinely as far as this one can honestly go. No figures on schools, transport, green space, or day-to-day life have come through for Forest Mere specifically, and rather than borrow a school name or a station from somewhere else in the district, it's better to say plainly: this locality hasn't surfaced enough of its own detail yet to describe its streets, its commute, or its weekend rhythm with any confidence. If you're weighing a move here, the price positioning above is a genuine data point — but everything else about whether you'd regret it is still local knowledge you'd need to gather in person, not something this can responsibly hand you.
