It is a good commute to Halifax of about 20 minutes. It is very close
to excellent shopping in Bayers Lake. It has become one of metros most
popular residential communities. There is a reasonable size lake, Governor's
Lake in the area where swimming and boating can be enjoyed in summer and
some skating in winter.

are all referred to as one. Beechville, Lakeside and Timberlea, although
three different areas, are often all called Timberlea.
Timberlea is growing and with it so are the amenities. A beautiful new
school was recently built in Beechville in Beechville Estates. Ridgecliff
Middle School is one of the nicest school facilities found anywhere. A
new subdivision, Beechville Estates is rapidly being built next to new
school. New housing is currently available in this area. A new golf course
community has been recently approved for the area which includes many
shopping and other facilities.
