South & East <strong>Belfast</strong> Area combines the South and East <strong>Belfast</strong> districts.<br />

South <strong>Belfast</strong><br />

The South <strong>Belfast</strong> extends from the city centre in the north to Castlereagh Borough<br />

Council in the south, from West Link/Boucher Road in the west to the Ravenhill Road<br />

in the east. South <strong>Belfast</strong> remains a popular place to live and invest despite the<br />

current downturn. The main tenure is owner occupation; however private rental<br />

continues to be very popular. Many of the private rental properties are in the form of<br />

Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO’s), with high concentrations in the Lower<br />

Lisburn Road and University areas.<br />

Overall waiting list demand has remained consistent. Single households comprise the<br />

largest household group, representing 60% of the housing stress waiting list.<br />
