Forest Lawn is characterized by its towering elms, but also by its well-thought-out design. Low-density residential houses are the prominent feature, with medium density residences concentrated together on the northern side. It is a short trip for those attending school at Lorne Akins or Paul Kane, as both are within the boundaries of this attractive neighbourhood. Three large green spaces and a small number of commercial services round out the community. With an average house price of around $350,000, it is an affordable place to put down roots for the approximately 2,740 residents who call it home.
