Windsor ward sits in south Belfast, containing the university area and the leafy streets around the Malone Road. The district is primarily residential, with a significant student population due to the proximity of Queen's University and several student accommodation complexes. The area includes the expansive Botanic Gardens and the Ulster Museum, which anchor its cultural and green space.
The ward is defined by its mix of academic institutions, Victorian terraces, and larger detached homes. The Lisburn Road serves as a central commercial spine with local shops and eateries. The area is directly served by Botanic railway station, providing a key transport link. The presence of the university's main campus and associated buildings gives the area a consistent academic character throughout the year.
