Around the village church in the centre of Saerbeck there are several shops, cafés and restaurants as well as a small park. The village centre is adjoined by housing estates where the approximately 7100 inhabitants of the municipality live. To the west of the village centre is a small commercial area with supermarkets and a few businesses, while a larger industrial area lies to the north-east outside the village. To the south-west is the popular bathing lake. There are still a few farms in the countryside around the village, which were the most important economic factor in the middle of the 20th century.
