Settlement is focused in the village core, with residential streets extending outwards into the surrounding townlands.

The local economy has historical connections to linen production, with several former mill buildings still present. A notable local landmark is Arthur Cottage, the ancestral home of Chester A. Arthur, the 21st President of the United States. Community life revolves around local schools, churches, and sporting facilities. The ward maintains a quiet, settled character, with the Ballymena Road providing a key transport link to the larger urban centre to the east.
