About Ravenswood
Welcome to Ravenswood
Ravenswood sits on the banks of the Murray River in the Peel region of Western Australia, roughly an hour south of Perth's CBD. It's a semi-rural pocket that has quietly become one of the more talked-about riverside addresses in the Pinjarra-Mandurah corridor, prized for its water frontage, acreage-style blocks and unhurried pace.
The suburb suits buyers after space and a genuine connection to the river rather than a tightly packed streetscape. With a population of around 2,483 and a median age of 41, Ravenswood attracts a mix of families, retirees and professionals happy to trade a shorter commute for a bigger backyard and a boat ramp within reach.
Lifestyle & dining
Life in Ravenswood revolves around the Murray River. Fishing, crabbing, boating and riverside walks are part of everyday routine here rather than an occasional weekend treat, and many properties back directly onto the water. For cafes, pubs and a broader dining scene, residents head into nearby Pinjarra or across to the Yunderup and South Yunderup precincts, where the river continues to shape the social calendar with boat-based gatherings and waterside barbecues.
Shopping
Ravenswood itself is light on retail, which is part of its rural charm, but Pinjarra's town centre is only a short drive away and covers everyday essentials, supermarkets and specialty stores. Mandurah's larger shopping precincts are within reasonable reach too, giving residents the choice between a quick local shop and a bigger outing when needed.
Getting around
Ravenswood's location just off the South Western Highway makes Perth and Mandurah both accessible by car, with the commute to the CBD sitting at around an hour. Pinjarra, immediately adjacent, provides train and bus connections for those without a car for the full trip, while locally most residents rely on private vehicles given the semi-rural, low-density layout of the streets.
Parks & recreation
The Murray River is Ravenswood's biggest recreational asset, offering swimming, kayaking and fishing on the doorstep, with South Yunderup, Yunderup and North Yunderup all forming part of the same waterway playground. Open rural land and river reserves nearby also make it a popular spot for those who want space to walk dogs, ride horses or simply enjoy a quieter version of outdoor life than the coastal suburbs offer.
Housing & architecture
Housing in Ravenswood is dominated by standalone houses, which make up 98% of current listings, with land and townhouses each accounting for just 1%. Blocks tend to be generous by metropolitan standards, and many homes are designed to make the most of river views or river access, ranging from established family houses to larger rural-residential style properties.
The property market
Ravenswood's median house price currently sits at $798,000, following growth of 19.0% recently, a sign of the strong demand for river-adjacent living in the Peel region. Median rent is $620 a week, reflecting solid interest from tenants as well as buyers. With such a heavy skew towards houses on larger blocks, the market here tends to attract owner-occupiers and lifestyle buyers rather than unit or townhouse investors, and properties with direct river frontage typically command a premium within that median.
