St John's ward occupies a central area of Ipswich, primarily residential in character. The district is defined by streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with some modern infill developments. It contains several local schools and small, independent shops catering to daily needs. The residential streets are generally quiet, with a mix of long-term residents and students.

The ward is anchored by the large Christchurch Park, which provides extensive green space with mature trees, sports facilities, and a museum. A notable local landmark is the red-brick St John's Church, which gives the area its name. The area's proximity to the town centre and Ipswich Hospital contributes to its practical appeal for a range of inhabitants.
