Given the remoteness of the area, many housing options are designed to be sustainable and are built with materials suited to the local climate and conditions, emphasizing practicality over luxury.

As buyers begin to examine Manabadurma due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. The high percentage of professional people in Manabadurma classifies the area as "gentrified". This implies high demand for quality housing, generally of larger than average size. Price growth is ensured even where the state affordability index is negatively impacting other areas. High density population in Manabadurma requires consistent turnover in housing ensuring constant demand.
