It was built in different phases between the late 1950s and the late 1960s, with many new recent additions to the village, including Westlake, Butler's Wharf and Old Fort. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 1,581 people. It is within the Derry Urban Area and the Derry City Council area. The village has a small retail outlet (A pharmacy, a supermarket, a fast food take-away and a variety shop), a chapel, a Church of Ireland, a library, youth club and a post office. Strathfoyle's community is fast becoming multi-cultural, with many Polish people moving to the area. Initially they faced a hostile reception, but the situation has since improved. Regular Sunday football matches have been organised between local youth and the new arrivals. Strathfoyle is situated directly across the River Foyle from the upper class settlement of Culmore. Despite being on the east bank of the Foyle, Strathfoyle is not considered to be part of the Waterside.
