The estate was structured to be a middle-class real estate hub for those who work in Victoria Island and Lekki axis. The neighbourhood is an enjoyable one as residents get to enjoy their privacy as most houses are gated and have high fences. Non-residents of the estate do not go through the security checks before they are allowed entry, although there are security guards who carry out routine checks on cars irregularly.

Although the roads in Graceland Estate are interlocked, they are also narrow and makes navigation a bit difficult, the drainage channels though well covered are just on one side but there has been no incident of flooding in the estate. Unlike some other estates in Lekki, commercial activities are allowed in Graceland Estate as there are some companies housed including a number of transport & logistics companies which makes it easier for resident going on a quick journey by road.

There are some trees planted by the side of the road in the estate although most houses do not make provision for green space. The electricity supply in the estate is dependent on the EKDC which supplies electricity to most areas in Lekki although residents supplement with the use of generators and inverters as power supply in Lagos is generally unpredictable.
