Horamavu was initially a village comprising plenty of farm land, mangroves and orchards. It had a rich and diverse ecosystem, consisting of birds including eagles and pigeons, bats, and bees that facilitate pollination. Today, the rampant rise of high-rise apartments and schools in the neighbourhood has damaged the greenery of the area, and the local bees and birds.
The locality is primarily inhabited by IT professionals as many companies are at a accessible distance and almost close to central part of the city. Schools such as St. Vincent Pallotti School,
Vibgyor High School, Deva Matha High School,
Narayana Techno School,
Sri Chaitanya Techno School, Mehras Educational institute, Christian group of institutions, Navneetam college of nursing are present in this area. Horamavu is also home to several eateries and restaurants such as
Adyar Ananda Bhavan, Udupi Sagar and so on. There are several new apartments and real estate properties springing up in the area including
Prestige Gulmohar, Cumins, Kolte Patil Mirabilis and so on. Recently, the new underpass was also inaugurated, easing traffic on the Horamavu Main Road. The
Outer Ring Road passes by Horamavu.
Lakes such as the recently revived Horamavu Agara Lake and the Horamavu Lake (which is being revived), are present, but currently face pollution problems.
