In the beginning, the town failed to grow as originally envision, with most of the residential and commercial lots undeveloped. However, following the inception and opening of the adjacent university campus. The town has shifted in role and now prominently houses students from the university in the form of off-campus accommodation. Commercial activity is slowly increase albeit at a very slow rate with much of the commercial area still void of any activity. Most of the area is made up of low density residential housing with pockets of medium density housing.
