Backford Cross is largely made up of residential homes built from 1990 onwards and serves as a commuter village to Ellesmere Port and Chester. The area covers the residential area around the Willowdale Way/Yeoman Way circle and the property south of Sycamore Park Garden Centre on the A41 Chester Road. Planning permission was granted by Cheshire West and Cheshire Council in 2019 for a housing development to the south west of the A41/A5117 junction. As part of the scheme, the developer was required to financially contribute towards improvements to local amenities and infrastructure.
Capenhurst railway station on the Wirral line of the Merseyrail network is located from Backford Cross.
