Lakeview has direct access to North Glenmore Park, the Weaselhead Flats, the Calgary Canoe Club and the Glenmore Reservoir pathway system. The neighbourhood has a strong community association and is home to the highly regarded Connect Charter School.

Housing is a mix of older bungalows, condos and modern infills. South of 66th Avenue SW tends to have larger lots and mature trees, and prices reflect that.
