Fountain Hill

Ward in Antrim and Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

Coordinates:54.709, -6.204
Dialling code: 02894 (Antrim)

Fountain Hill (electoral ward) is a small suburban ward within the local government area of Antrim and Newtownabbey in Northern Ireland. It comprises mainly residential neighbourhoods with local shops, schools and pocket parks, and sits within easy commuting distance of Belfast, which shapes much of its daily economic life.

The area is typical of late 20th‑century suburban development in the region, with active community groups, sports clubs and neighbourhood churches forming the social fabric. Economically residents often work in nearby towns or in retail and light industry, while historically the ward grew up from earlier rural land uses and now reflects a mix of family housing and modest local commerce.
