Forest Avenue

At Forest Avenue we realize you want more than just a place to live; you want a community of friends, a place to belong and a caring touch.

This is where we come in. We are Christian and Anna Smith, your Caring Community Team. We live on-site at Forest Avenue with the sole purpose of creating a caring community at Forest Avenue.

Here is a bit of our story:

Christian and I (Anna) were both born and raised in Nevada County and moved to Chico about 4 years ago after getting married. Christian was attending Chico State and graduated in 2023 with a degree in Video Game Development while I worked towards starting my own photography business. Since then, we’ve loved getting to explore the Chico area and getting involved with our church where I am now on staff as Communications Assistant. We have two adorable rescue pups, Piper and Sasha, who are as quirky as they are lovable. I’m sure you’ll see us walking them to the dog park often!

We love to play board games, go on outdoor adventures (rock hunting especially), and meet new, amazing people! We’re so looking forward to meeting you and creating new connections in our Forest Avenue community.

A Word from the Management

At Forest Avenue Apartments we realize you want more than a place to live – you want a community of friends, a place to belong and a caring touch. We partner with Creating Caring Communities, a local non-profit organization, to provide a Caring Community Team to enrich residents’ lives. They plan community activities, welcome residents and are available to assist residents in times of special need. Get to know your Caring Community Team. They are here for you.


After living here for over three years, I truly appreciate the friendly environment the team has fostered. The events they organize make me feel like part of a close-knit family. I can genuinely say that our family feels cared for and valued thanks to their efforts."


Having lived here for six years, I have to say that I absolutely love the "Caring Communities" program. It has been instrumental in helping me connect with my neighbors, and the events they organize are incredibly enjoyable.”


In just one year of being a resident, I've been amazed by the strong sense of community fostered by CC program. It has provided numerous opportunities for me to meet and connect with fellow residents.”


I have been a resident for nine years, and continue to be impressed by the diverse range of activities and projects offered thanks to Caring Communities. The inclusivity they promote allows people from various age groups and backgrounds to come together and enjoy themselves. Interacting with individuals of different ages and social backgrounds on a regular basis has truly enriched my life. If I were to rate the impact of the CC Team on a scale of 1-10, it would undoubtedly be an 11!”
