Several software professionals who work at Gachibowli and Hi-tech City are purchasing flats and land in Manikonda. In February 2022, a two-member bench of Supreme Court of India passed judgement that Manikonda village jagir comprising prime land of 1,654-acre (6.69 km2) and 32 guntas of land belongs to Government of Telangana, setting aside the orders of the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh High Court.[12] The land is free from any encumbrance.

The area's infrastructure, shopping and entertainment are rapidly growing. The highways leading to Manikonda include one from Darga via OU Colony and another from Sheikpet via Sports complex and filter beds. It consists of two revenue villages named Manikonda and Puppalaguda. Several dozen towers of the multi-billion dollar Lanco hills as well as Chitrapuri Colony are located in Manikonda village. To reach this bustling locale from the airport, one should exit from Outer Ring Road at Nanakramguda/Gachibowli junction and take Lanco Hills Road. DivyaSree TechRidge is a 45-acre (0.18 km2) project near Lanco Hills.[13] Several companies likes Accenture are located in this. There are many parks in Manikonda Municipality like Netaji Park located in Alkaoor Township, Puppalguda. The area also has many gyms like Hyki gym in Green Living Apartments, cult gym in Panchavati colony, etc.
