The majority of the houses are Victorian and have large grounds surrounding them. There is a gate lodge at each end of the avenue. The Lisburn Road end is inaccessible to vehicular traffic as is the Balmoral Avenue gate. Traffic can only enter from the Malone Road entrance. The avenue is lined by lime trees with grass verges outside every house. Traditionally it was home to wealthy Protestants, it is now generally regarded as a mixed area.
Malone Park has been called Belfast's most exclusive street. At the height of the property bubble in 2007, a Ballymena businessman agreed on £3.5 million for a six-bedroom Victorian property on Malone Park, making it the most expensive residence on the local market at the time.
