Ballybeen (from Irish: Baile Bín meaning "town of the peak"), also known as Ballybeen Housing Estate, is the second largest housing estate in Northern Ireland. It is within the townland(s) of Ballybeen and Carrowreagh all inside the town of Dundonald on the outskirts of east Belfast — between the Newtownards Road and Comber Road. Started in 1963, and mostly completed by 1971, the estate consists of some 2,400 dwellings. Most of the street names are Scottish in origin (Enler and Brooklands being the exception) as the architects who designed the estates layout, mostly came from Scotland. It lies within the Borough of Castlereagh and the Strangford Parliamentiary and Assembly constituency. In the 2001 census the area had a population of 9,170.
