Forest Lake security tip
Back fences facing parkland
About 95% of Forest Lake homes were separate houses at the 2021 Census, many backing onto parks and the lake's walking paths. Back fences and gates facing parkland need to be solid and locked, with a sensor light and a camera covering the back yard, and sliding doors onto the yard need a proper lock or bar.
Forest Lake homes and what they mean for security
Forest Lake is made up almost entirely of low-set brick family homes built from the 1990s onwards, many with double garages, and a network of parks, bikeways and the central lake runs behind many back fences. Only about 26% of homes were rented at the 2021 Census.
