As of 2015, Manof includes 175 single-family detached homes. Additional town facilities include a grocery store, preschools for children aged 1–6, a playground, ball courts, a synagogue, a small library, and a small petting zoo. Beyond kindergarten, there are no schools inside Manof. Most Manof children go, via school bus, to the Har Shekhanyaelementary school in the adjacent town of Shekhanya, and then for grades 7-12 go to the Misgav highschool in the nearby Misgav regional council center. The council center houses various other facilities, such as healthcare, a gym and pool, a library, after-school activities for children, and more. There are only a few small places of business in Manof's industrial zone, including a small chocolate factory, a plant nursery, an art therapy studio and a sport shop. A few other residents have a home business, or work from home. But the majority of the Manof residents work outside Manof, often nearby cities such as Haifa or Karmiel. As such, Manof is often considered a commuter town.

The Manof Fun Run is an annual tradition kept in Manof since 1980. The Fun Run is an amateur running event, going uphill along the road into Manof. The video linked below which shows life in Manof in 1980 centers around that year's Manof Fun Run. The Fun Run started as a local Manof event, but in recent years has become popular with residents of other towns in the Misgav area, and is now formally named the Misgav Race. The race is actually several races of different lengths, and a 2 km non-competitive family run. All races end in the center of Manof, where runners and their families can find food stands, art activities, and other attractions.
