About

Mallusk is situated in the northern part of the borough, characterised by a mix of industrial zones and residential developments. The area is a significant hub for warehousing and distribution, with several major business parks located along key transport corridors. This infrastructure supports a substantial portion of the local economy. Housing primarily consists of modern estates and some older rural dwellings, catering to a growing population that works both locally and in nearby urban centres.

The landscape includes the rural townland of Mallusk itself, with the Six Mile Water river flowing through the area. A notable local feature is the historic Mallusk Cemetery, which contains a Commonwealth War Graves section. Community life is centred around local schools, sports facilities, and the nearby Valley Leisure Centre. The ward maintains a distinct identity separate from the more densely populated parts of Newtownabbey, balancing its industrial function with residential community needs.
