Belmont ward sits in the eastern part of Belfast, primarily a residential area with a mix of housing types from terraced streets to larger detached homes. It is bordered by the Holywood Road to the north and the Knock River to the south, providing a settled, community-focused environment. The area is served by several local schools and shops, catering to the daily needs of its residents.
The ward includes the Belmont Church and its surrounding roads, which form a historical core. A notable feature is the presence of the former Campbell College preparatory school buildings, which have been repurposed for community use. Open spaces like Belmont Park offer green areas for recreation, contributing to the neighbourhood's character.
