The village is close to the mountain Le Pouce and the town Beau-Bassin Rose-Hill.

Réduit is a suburb of the village where the State House and University of Mauritius is situated.

The village is also home to the Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation and the Mahatma Gandhi Institute.

Moka is centrally located in Mauritius and as such has experienced a real estate development boom in the past few years.

Another contributing factor to this property business was that since Mauritius will not benefit from preferential prices for its sugar by the European Community and World Trade Organization, sugar estates quickly started real estate business units that would convert the land under sugar cane culture to residential lands.
