Horamavu runs along the Outer Ring Road, connecting quickly to Kalyan Nagar, Banaswadi and Whitefield without a trip through the city centre. BMTC buses link the area directly to Majestic, Shivajinagar, KR Market and HSR Layout.

The Namma Metro Blue Line's Horamavu station, part of the KR Puram to airport corridor, is under construction and targeted for December 2027. A Bengaluru Suburban Rail stop is also planned nearby on the Kanaka line, though that corridor's completion has been pushed to March 2030.

Horamavu has its own CBSE options in ORCHIDS The International School and VIBGYOR High, plus VIBGYOR Kids preschool, so families are not limited to schools outside the neighbourhood.

Bangalore International School, New Millennium School, SLS International Gurukul and Deva Matha Central School sit close by, and the established school clusters in neighbouring Banaswadi and Kalyan Nagar add further choice for higher grades.

Horamavu sits within commuting distance of some of east and north Bengaluru's largest employment clusters.

Manyata Tech Park, one of the city's biggest IT campuses, and the Whitefield corridor's International Tech Park are both reachable via the Outer Ring Road and Old Madras Road, and this access has driven much of the locality's residential growth as professionals working these campuses have moved in.

Water in Horamavu is supplied by the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board under the Cauvery scheme, and pockets of the locality, including Horamavu Agara, are now connected to piped Cauvery water.

The neighbourhood has several parks, including Banaswadi Horamavu Park and Hema Amudha Park, along with branches of major banks such as State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank, and retail anchors including a D Mart store.
