• Many lakes in the area
• The village is primarily composed of three sub-divisions: Lake of the Woods, Sheldrake Lake and Three Brooks. There are several parks in the area, as well as campgrounds and hiking trails. Three Brooks and Lake of the Woods, generally, are affluent communities. Housing values in these areas are high, compared to the rest of the region, and they are well sought after. Most residents of these areas are professionals and business owners ; about 10% are retirees seeking the tranquility that the village and its people offer. Lake of the Woods, in particular, is home to many influential families. Citizens of this community include the commissioner of police of nearby Halifax, the Murphy family, the Bowie family; the Sobeys family, in addition to several high level private and public officials. Every year the community hosts Christmas and other festive decorating contests which are highlighted in national magazines. The "dream lifestyle" remains elusive for most Nova Scotians, as the cost of living here is crippling to most incomes. While some houses may look modest, they are actually expensive to buy, as the land they are on is quite costly.
