Amber Trails is primarily a residential area with a mix of housing options, including single-family homes and townhouses. The neighborhood has been developed with a focus on creating a welcoming environment for families.

Amber Trails offers its residents a delightful outdoor experience with several small parks and three man-made lakes. Families with students have the option of enrolling them in either Amber Trails Community School, catering to Kindergarten through Grade 8, or Leila North Community School, specifically designed for Grades 6-8. Notably, Leila North provides both French immersion and English instruction, offering diverse educational opportunities. Situated just east of the neighborhood, the Garden City Shopping Centre provides a range of retail options, while the convenience of having Seven Oaks General Hospital nearby adds to the overall appeal of the area.
