Additionally, several real estate agencies and other professional service firms conduct business from headquarters or branch offices in the neighborhood.

A significant number of empty-nester dwellings in the neighborhood and large homes adjoining the country club were built following the creation of a partial interchange at Rodney Parham Road's intersection with Interstate 430 in 1970.
