Beyond Murree, it was the only place to have a Government Higher Secondary School since 1885, which was later upgraded to a college. The School remained the sole educational institution catering to the people of lower union councils of Murree for a long time. As of 2019 there are many primary and secondary government and private schools for both genders.

A main road links Ausia with Malkot (Hazara/KP) leads further to Ayubia and Abbottabad. Another link road, Ausia-Dehla Road, connects the Upper Kohala Road with the Lower Kohala Road(Phagwari, Alyot, Topa) starts from the main bazaar of Ausia, called 'Parao'.

During the (British Raj), the 'Parao' served as a resting place for the troops, including high command, en route to Kashmir and India. Here's situated the 'Grand Jamia Mosque Ausia'(Murree's 1st grand mosque comprising a vast space for a number of Namazis). This spacious Masjid is being rebuilt with generous contributions from the residents.

The Ausia bazar (Parao, Makkah Chowk, Malkot Chowk, Chatti) offers hotel/workshop/catering services. Adjacent to the bazar are numerous private/ government schools and colleges and also two playgrounds (one at Parao, and the other at Dara/Baagh en route to Makkah chowk) which host certain sporting/gaming events not only for the locals but also for the outsiders. Summers are pleasant as the weather is moderate most of the time and the inhabitants enjoy consuming indigenous fruits and vegetables. The winters are often very cold with constant rain, hail and snow. Ausia is about 20–25 minutes drive from Murree under normal conditions.
