It maintains a relatively village-like character, contrasting with the more urban parts of Frankfurt. The district is known for its green spaces, including the Huthpark, a significant local park. Seckbach also has several traditional pubs and restaurants, contributing to its local culture.

The local council (Ortsbeirat) represents the interests of the residents of Seckbach within the Frankfurt city administration. Public transportation links Seckbach to the city center and other districts of Frankfurt via bus and U-Bahn (subway) lines.
