The area is characterised by modern housing estates, local schools, and community facilities, forming a largely residential part of the town. It is bordered by countryside to the north and west, providing a transition from urban to rural landscapes.

The ward includes the Asfordby Hill area, which sits on elevated ground overlooking the wider Wreake Valley.
