Willets Point is very primitive in appearance, as it has no sidewalks or sewers ; due to the area's geography and the lack of paved roads in the area, flooding is common during heavy rains. The area is very industrial and is filled with auto repair shops, scrap yards, waste processing sites, and similar small businesses. It has been described as being "post-apocalyptic" in appearance. A Hunter College study found that Willets Point was a "unique regional destination" for auto parts and repairs.
Willets Point is scheduled to undergo a massive $3 billion redevelopment project to construct retail and residential buildings in the area. It has a population of 1 person .
