Knockmore
Knockmore and the surrounding Lisburn neighbourhoods offer a settled, affordable base for families and commuters alike. Across Blaris, Lagan Valley, Lisnagarvey and Old Warren, the story is consistent: living costs run well below the UK average, with cheaper council tax, utilities, groceries and transport than the national norm, and crime has been falling steadily since 2024 to sit at or below the Northern Ireland average. Air quality is excellent throughout, reflecting the area's suburban and rural character.
Families are well catered for, with strong school choices nearby including Lisnagarvey High School, Wallace High School, Tonagh Primary School and Lisburn Central Primary, plus Old Warren's cluster of seven schools within a kilometre. Everyday essentials, such as supermarkets, pharmacies and convenience stores, tend to sit just outside each neighbourhood's boundary rather than within it, so you'll need a car for most shopping trips. That said, Sprucefield's retail offer and a Tesla Supercharger are close by for bigger shops, and GP access is good across the area.
This is a car-dependent part of Lisburn, though road links to Belfast are strong, and Lisnagarvey adds the bonus of nearby rail and bus stations for those commuting without a car. Rental demand is on the rise across the area, particularly for larger family homes, pointing to growing interest from people wanting more space without sacrificing affordability. Taken together, these neighbourhoods suit buyers and renters after a quieter, budget-friendly setting with solid schools and easy road access into Lisburn and Belfast.
