Belvoir ward sits in south Belfast, primarily a residential suburb with a mix of housing types, from detached homes to modern apartment complexes. The area is defined by its proximity to the Lagan Valley Regional Park, providing extensive green spaces and river pathways along its western edge. The ward includes the Belvoir Park Forest and the former site of Belvoir Park Golf Club, areas now central to redevelopment plans focusing on new housing and community infrastructure.
The ward is bisected by the A55 outer ring road, a major transport route that connects it to Belfast city centre and beyond. Its eastern side is characterised by the Belvoir Estate and the Parkview neighbourhood, featuring quieter, tree-lined streets. The presence of the Belvoir Drive Hospital site and its planned regeneration into a mixed-use development is a significant local focus, indicating ongoing change within this settled suburban community.
