About

Sandown ward is located in the southern part of Belfast, forming a primarily residential area. It is bordered by the Malone and Stranmillis wards to the north and the River Lagan to the east. The housing stock is a mix of detached and semi-detached homes, with some apartment developments. The area is served by several primary schools and is within proximity to larger retail and educational facilities in neighbouring districts.

The ward contains a significant portion of the Barnett Demesne, a large public park with open fields and wooded areas. This green space provides walking paths and recreational grounds for local residents. The main thoroughfare is the Sandown Road, which facilitates transport links to Belfast city centre. The area's character is largely defined by its quiet, suburban streets and access to natural landscapes along the river.
