Ballymacoss is a residential ward situated in the southeastern part of the Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council area. The locality is primarily characterised by housing developments and associated local services, forming a settled community within the wider urban framework. Its boundaries are defined by major transport routes, including the A24 and the A55, which connect it to surrounding districts.
The area contains a mix of private housing and some social housing provision, alongside several primary schools serving the local population. A notable feature is the presence of the former Ballymacoss House estate grounds, with historical parkland now integrated into the suburban landscape. The ward is also home to a large retail park, providing significant local employment and serving as a commercial hub for the wider region.
