There are several new real estate properties springing up in the area including Prestige, Cumins, and so on. Recently, the new underpass was also inaugurated, easing traffic on the Horamavu main road, before the underpass on the left hand side you find good residential places like P&T colony Golden Enclave lane, Ashirwad colony are the most preferred as it is walkable to the main road and hardly 500 mts to ring road.

However, one pressing issue plaguing the locality is the steady degradation of its huge lakes such as Horamavu and Agara lakes. Authorities have promised to launch clean lakes projects.
