Lake Gardens is almost entirely residential, laid out in street hierarchy with a centrepiece ornamental lake. It has no commercial area; the nearest shopping centres are in Wendouree to the north and Alfredton to the south.
Built on the site of a former lunatic asylum, some claim that the suburb is haunted by ghosts.
