The area was mainly made up of farmlands or unused lands in the valleys. Mixed farming was common. Urban development replaced much of the farmlands between the [[1960s]] and the [[1980s]]. Most of the community are rocky and bushy to the north and the south while most of the pine forest lie to the east and is part of the [[Dafni]] forests. More forests are to the southwest within the bay. The mountaintops are to the north and diagonally to the south. The residential area lies to the northeast and the western part while shops are in the central part. The area also has an industrial area.

'''Skaramangas Bay''' (Greek: Όρμος Σκαραμαγκά ''Ormos Skaramagka'') is a bay that connects the southeastern part of the [[Elefsina Bay]] and the norteastern part of the [[Saronic Gulf|Saronic]]. Part of the bay is a lagoon to the northeast. Forests including some trees lie near the bay. The shipyard named Skaramagkas Shipyard (Greek: Ναυπογείων Σκαραμαγκά ''Nafpogeion Skaramagka'') was opened and was named the [[Hellenic Shipyards Co.|Hellenic Shipyard Company]] which the [[Hellenic Navy]] (then Royal Hellenic Navy) in [[1939]] founded the [[Royal Hellenic Naval Shipyard]] (RNHS) (now the Hellenic Naval Shipyard) in order to construct two torpedo vessels. Between [[November 1978]] and [[May 1979]], the [[List of Greek battleships|ship]] ''[[HS Tombazis (D-215)|Tombazis]]'' underwent structural modifications at Hinder IV. On [[September 9]], [[2001]], the port was on sale. On [[October 10]], a month later, the privatization was signed. On [[March 2002|March 6, 2002]], the port became entirely owned by a [[Germany|German]] group of investors under the industrial leadership of [[HDW]].

The refinery near Skaramangas Bay also lies to the north and the northern part belongs to Aspropyrgos. Most of the oil are mainly exported. The oil depots are around the refinery. The mountains are west of the refinery,

Skaramangas has a school, a lyceum, a gymnasium, and a square (''[[plateia]]'').
