It is primarily residential, with rows of terraced and semi-detached houses alongside pockets of later private development. Local facilities include a small parade of shops and a community hall that host events and services used by residents. The name Maes-y-dre translates from Welsh as "town field", a reminder of the area's transition from fields to housing over the last century.

Playing fields and small greens provide outdoor space for football, walking and informal recreation, and some properties back onto more open land at the ward edge.
