The village has a number of small shops, a farm-store, café, post-office, local GAA club, Roman Catholic church, and is home to the Huntsman and Coleman's public houses. (The latter established for at least 90 years)

The village is located within the study area of the Cork Area Strategic Plan and the lands that surround the village are within the designated Cork County Council "Rural Housing Control Zone". As a result, there has been recent residential housing development in Belgooly.
