Bloomfield ward is situated in east Belfast, positioned between the Beersbridge Road and the Holywood Road. The area is primarily residential, characterised by rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing. Its streets are arranged in a tight grid pattern, leading toward the Bloomfield Walkway and Connswater Community Greenway, which follows the river. The local commercial activity is concentrated along the main arterial routes, serving the immediate neighbourhood.
The ward is home to Bloomfield playing fields and the adjacent football grounds. The area has a strong community association, with local history deeply connected to the surrounding industrial and shipbuilding heritage. The greenway provides a continuous path for walking and cycling, linking several parks. Residential life here is centred on local schools, churches, and the community centres that operate within its boundaries.
