It is bordered by the Knock Dual Carriageway to the north and the Orangefield Park playing fields to the south, providing a green corridor. The local landscape is gently sloping, with views toward the city centre from its higher points.

The ward is anchored by several community facilities, including a large secondary school and a public library. A notable local landmark is the historic Orangefield House, a Georgian building set within parkland. The area maintains a quiet, settled atmosphere, with local shopping concentrated along the Castlereagh Road. Its proximity to the Lagan Towpath offers direct access to riverside walking and cycling routes into the city.
