Everyday life is in the town. Centrumhörnan serves as food shop and café, the petrol station lies across the road and the school, Drängsmarksskolan, is a couple of minutes' walk away. Folkets Hus is also in the town, a restaurant is in the school and the lake Hemträsket is within walking distance but not close. There is no railway station at all, the nearest being over forty kilometres away, so a car is needed. Industry is just under five kilometres away.
Three registered soil contamination sites are found in the town, the nearest right next to the buildings.
To Skellefteå it takes half an hour by car. Ostvik and Frostkåge are the nearest larger neighbours. The surrounding area has a mixed age distribution, with a quarter under twenty and a fifth over sixty-five. Association life is broad for the size: a village association, a shooting club, a fishing club and the football club Drängsmarks/Ostvik IF.
Drängsmark suits families with children who want forest, lake and the village's services nearby and drive to Skellefteå. It does not suit someone who wants a train nearby.
