The suburb is dominated by well presented federation style houses on larger size allotments. The original house commands attention with its sheer size, elegant architecture, and manicured gardens. Hidden within the exquisite gardens, at the rear of the Forest Gate Homestead is Ronita's Cottage. The cottage was the original servants private double brick quarters, and it has been lovingly restored to reflect its former glory.
