The new community contains a diverse range of housing types to suit residents in differing life stages and backgrounds.

Major facilities for the area include: In late 2018, development of a parcel of land began that is in close proximity to the shopping precinct.

Woolworths and Aldi supermarkets are also now trading with several other outlets including chemist, hairdresser, fast food and a proposed coffee shop will be open mid-2018.

Discovery Park has a man-made stream meandering through ponds with sunny and shaded grassed areas, covered picnic tables and free electric barbecues.

The suburb is served by bus routes which provide connections to the Yanchep line via the Joondalup railway station.

Selected services deviate via Joseph Banks Secondary College, Banksia Grove Primary School, or along Viridian Drive, which was an old alignment of the route.

Route 391 from Joondalup Station to Banksia Grove operates along Ghost Gum Boulevard to a terminus on Glasshouse Drive in the western part of the suburb.

Despite growing in population nine-fold over the last 7 years, a concerted effort by local police has kept this to 442 (2018-2019), decreasing the ratio per 100 residents, and the suburb is maturing as a social place to live.
