Newtownbreda

Coordinates: 54°33′36″N 5°54′47″W / 54.560°N 5.913°W / 54.560; -5.913 Newtownbreda is an electoral ward of the Borough of Castlereagh in Northern Ireland. At one time "Newtownbreda" referred to a small village to the south-east of Belfast. However, it is now part of the Greater Belfast conurbation and Newtownbreda now tends to refer to the wider area from Hydebank to the Saintfield Road rather than to the old village.^{[citation needed]} Today, Newtownbreda is very much a residential area of middle-class status, with further houses and apartments only being completed within the last few years.^{[citation needed]}

Newtownbreda offers a secondary school and a church. The Forestside Shopping Centre was developed by Sainsbury's between 1996 and 1998 and a Tesco store was opened in 2007. Other services include a library, dentist and optician as well as a florist and shoe shop amongst other small businesses. Belvoir Park Golf Club is also located nearby.

The Belfast 'outer ring' dual carriage-way separates Newtownbreda from Belvoir Forest and Belvoir housing estate which is largely Northern Ireland Housing Executive-supplied housing. This dual carriage-way provides transport links to Belfast city centre, as well as the outskirts of the city.
