Housing options include brick ranch-style homes, traditional clapboard houses, and bungalow ranch-styles, typically ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 square feet on quarter-acre lots. Redbud Park, a central feature, recently underwent a $6 million update, adding a STEAM-focused child education center to the YMCA of Abilene. The park also offers a running path, splash pad, updated ball fields, and a Prairie Dog Preserve. Nearby, the Abilene Country Club is recognized as one of the top golf courses in the state. For shopping and dining, Crossroads Shopping Center and the Mall of Abilene provide a mix of small businesses, chain restaurants, and big-box stores.

The neighborhood is served by the Abilene Independent School District, with Cooper High School offering highly rated career and technical education programs.
