The local authority (Renfrewshire Council) has invested significantly in the area, which nowadays boasts multiple community centres, public parks and social areas.

In recent years there has been significant investment in private and social housing including the construction of new build estates and refurbishment of existing tenement buildings and Oliphant court, Foxbar's only remaining high rise.

Oliphant Court was refurbished in recent years and is currently owned and maintained by Paisley South housing association.

The area also has many services and local businesses that supply the large population.

For a modern housing development, Foxbar comparably has a large retail presence.
