Families have access to several local schools. Core offerings include Lara Primary, Lara Lake Primary, St Anthony’s Primary, and Lara Secondary College (Years 7–12). Avalon College (for international students) adds extra educational diversity.

Nature lovers will thrive here—Hovell’s Creek winds through the suburb, connecting Lara Lake Reserve, Serendip Sanctuary (home to walking trails and wildlife), and the imposing You Yangs Regional Park with its bushwalking, mountain biking, and scenic lookouts. The town also offers a heated outdoor pool, skatepark, sports clubs (football, cricket, soccer, netball, baseball, bowling), golf course, tennis courts, and more .
