Granville has a mixture of residential, commercial and industrial developments.
The commercial and residential developments are mostly around Granville railway station and Parramatta Road.
Granville is primarily dominated by freestanding weatherboard, fibro and unrendered brick buildings.
The area is no longer exactly "typical" quarter acre block territory, but 500 to 600 m² (0.12 to 0.15 acres) blocks are reasonably common.
Terraced houses are rare, but increasing in number.
Apartment blocks, generally three to four storeys in height, are also becoming more common in the vicinity of the railway station.

Buildings that deserve some attention are:
Granville Town Hall, which was built in 1888
The Royal Hotel corresponds with the architecture of the Town Hall about 200 m away
The Brianna's function centre building just north of the railway station on Good Street
St. Marks Anglican Church dates back to 1882
St. Aphanasius Church, a Ukrainian Autocephalic Orthodox with onion domes, adds some interest to William Street.
It dates back to 1956.

The White Palace in South Street has an exterior with Art Deco features.
The building was gutted and redeveloped in 2007.

The intersecting circles of Granville RSL Sub-Branch Building serves as an interesting example of modern architecture.
It was designed by Frank Fox & Associates.
