The layout is primarily defined by Main Street, which runs through the heart of the community, connecting local shops and services. Surrounding streets contain a mix of traditional sandstone housing and more modern developments. The ward includes several green spaces, such as the grounds of Orbiston and St. Gerard's Primary Schools, providing recreational areas within the urban setting.

A notable local landmark is the Sir Matt Busby Sports Complex, named for the famed football manager who was born in the area. The ward's community facilities, including Bellshill Cultural Centre and the local library, serve as focal points. The landscape is gently rolling, with some residential areas offering views towards the nearby Tannochside and the M8 motorway, which skirts the ward's southern boundary, connecting it to Glasgow and Edinburgh.
