It had a very rich and diverse ecosystem, consisting ofbirds including eagles, pigeons and bats, and bees that helped in pollination. Today, the rampant rise of high rise apartments and schools in the neighbourhood has destroyed all the greenery and endangered species like the bats and bees. The locality is very good for Working, software and hardware professionals as almost all companies are with in the accessible distance and almost close to central part of the city, also from the point of viewof education with the presence of several schools such as St. Vincent Pallotti School, Vibgyor, Deva Matha High School, Narayana Techno and chaitanya techno school, Mehras Educational institute, Navneetam college of nursing 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. All these make Horamavu a very attractive locality in terms of buying properties and settling down.
