The barangay reflects a typical residential development pattern — houses fronting barangay roads, with sari-sari stores and small home-based businesses along the main access route. The neighborhood's character broadly mirrors Lingig's overall residential market. Single-family homes, townhouses, and affordable condominiums are the main property types available in Mahayahay.
