Macarthur Street forms the commercial spine of Soldiers Hill, a heritage‑overlay suburb directly north of Ballarat’s central business district. The street is lined with a variety of small‑scale shopfronts that have been preserved or adaptively reused as boutique services, cafés and specialty stores, reflecting the suburb’s largely Victorian‑era streetscape. Residential buildings behind the storefronts are predominantly larger middle‑class homes from the Victorian and Edwardian periods with ornamental iron‑lace verandahs, together with a notable proportion of two‑storey terrace houses and modest cottages.

Macarthur Street provides an east‑west artery linking Creswick Road in Ballarat Central to Peel Street Nth, and is serviced by the Invermay (4) and Wendouree (2) bus routes as well as a short segregated shared path along the nearby railway reserve. The suburb’s walkability is high, with footpaths on most streets and easy access to the Ballarat railway station just to the south, while a modest network of marked bicycle lanes supports the above‑average cycling rates. Nearby amenities include Macarthur Street Primary School, St Patrick’s Cathedral, the Ballarat City Fire Station and a range of hotels and eateries within a few hundred metres.
