Forest Lawn is a low income neighbourhood in southeast Calgary.  It is south of 17 Ave SE to 8 Ave Se between 36 St SE and 52 St SE.  It was founded in 1910 as a small settlement east of the City of Calgary.  An early real estate entrepreneur tried to lure Calgary residents out to the area with empty promises of a railway/streetcar , and he went so far as to lay tracks.  His ruse failed and Forest Lawn and area remained a small community until the area was annexed by the city in 1961.

This neighbourhood is a mix of older homes, 1960s era bungalows, duplexes and infill homes on 25 foot lots.  It is primarily zoned for multi-family dwellings.
