From the Wikipedia article

The Malone Road (from Irish Maigh Lón 'plain of lambs') is a radial road in Belfast, Northern Ireland, leading from the university quarter southwards to the affluent suburbs of Malone and Upper Malone, each a separate electoral ward. The road runs parallel to the Lisburn Road and is linked by over a dozen side streets, while at its northern end, the Stranmillis Road rejoins the Malone Road to form University Road, which in turn joins with the Lisburn Road to become Bradbury Place. Most of the road is in the BT9 postcode district. At the southern end of the Malone Road lies Malone House, a mansion in the late Georgian style. The house is now maintained by Belfast City Council. The residential streets leading off the Malone Road and Upper Malone Road are known for their high property prices, and the area is therefore a byword in Northern Ireland for affluence. Adjoining is Malone Lower Neighbourhoods incorporating Stranmillis Wharf, The Holylands, Donegall Pass, Queen's Quarter, Sandy Row, Stranmillis, The Village, Windsor areas which have a larger and very diverse population in a more built up area with the close proximity to the Lisburn road nd city centre, many properties range from the 1930s up to newer development s most recently built in 2025 https://streets.openalfa.co.uk/malone-lower
