The are is currently used for commercial activities and is very well suited for residential purposes. There are few major attractions in Bhajanpura, but there is built out infrastructure. Transportation hubs include the nearby interstate bus terminal, railway station (Anand Vihar). This areas proximity to New Delhi and Old Delhi means there is a plethora of educational institutions like Lal Bahadur Shastri college which affiliated with Delhi University. Also, nearby is the Northern India Engineering college affiliated with I.P. University which also 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Bhajanpura. Additional infrastructure is being built in the area such as the Sonia Vihar power plant. The main landmark of Bhajanpura is Bhajanpura Chowk, which is very busy all time. There are various blocks in Bhajanpura such as A, B, C, D etc. and every street is given a number. Unlike its neighborhood Yamuna VIhar, Bhajanpura is not well planned with no parks at all making it a congested place. Interesting fact is that C block of Bhajanpura is actually Block A of Yamuna Vihar (as per the locals).
