The neighborhood predominantly features single-detached homes, which constitute the majority of its residential buildings. These homes are mainly bungalows and split-levels, typical of the 1960s architectural styles, with well-kept yards and quiet streets. Additionally, there are several low-rise apartment complexes and townhouses, particularly near the eastern boundary close to 111th Street, providing a mix of housing options suitable for singles, families, and seniors. The vast majority of low-rise units and all of the high-rise units are part of Michener Park (see below) which is both condos and rental units.
