About Ringwood North
Welcome to Ringwood North
Ringwood North sits on the leafy northern fringe of Ringwood, roughly 25 kilometres east of the Melbourne CBD, wedged between the established green belts of Park Orchards, Warrandyte South and Warranwood. It's a suburb defined by mature trees, generous blocks and a distinctly settled, family-oriented feel that sets it apart from the busier commercial heart of Ringwood proper just to the south.
With a population of just under 10,000 and a median age of 43, Ringwood North attracts a mix of long-term residents and growing families looking for space without leaving the eastern suburbs' amenity behind. It suits buyers who want a quieter, bushier address but still expect easy access to shops, schools and the train line.
Lifestyle & dining
Life in Ringwood North moves at a gentler pace than in neighbouring Ringwood, with much of the day-to-day rhythm built around local ovals, tree-lined streets and weekend trips to nearby cafés and shopping strips. Residents typically head into Ringwood or over to Croydon Hills for a wider spread of dining options, while the suburb's own character leans more towards quiet cul-de-sacs and bushland outlooks than café strips.
The proximity to Warrandyte South and Park Orchards means the area carries a semi-rural flavour in parts, appealing to those who enjoy a bit of distance between neighbours, larger gardens and a genuine sense of privacy despite being well within Melbourne's suburban footprint.
Getting around
Ringwood North doesn't have its own train station, but Ringwood station is close by, offering Belgrave and Lilydale line services into the city and connecting bus routes throughout the north-eastern suburbs. This makes commuting straightforward for those working in the CBD or along the Ringwood, Box Hill and Camberwell corridor.
For drivers, the suburb has good access to the Maroondah Highway and EastLink, making trips to Doncaster, Croydon or further into Melbourne's east relatively painless. The surrounding pocket of Warranwood and Donvale also benefits from the same road network, which helps explain why the area has become popular with commuting families.
Schools & families
Education is well catered for locally, with Ringwood Heights Primary School and Ringwood North Primary School both serving the immediate area and contributing to the suburb's strong appeal for young families. Their presence, combined with generous block sizes and quiet residential streets, has helped cement Ringwood North's reputation as a settled, family-first suburb rather than a transient rental market.
Secondary options are readily accessible in surrounding suburbs, and the broader Ringwood and Croydon Hills area offers a good spread of both public and private schooling, which continues to draw families up from more built-up parts of the eastern suburbs.
Parks & recreation
Being bordered by Park Orchards and Warrandyte South gives Ringwood North easy access to some of the region's best bushland and reserve areas, ideal for walking, cycling and getting away from the density of inner Melbourne without a long drive. Local parks and sporting ovals within the suburb cater to weekend sport and casual recreation, while nearby Mullum Mullum Creek and surrounding trail networks are popular with walkers and cyclists.
This access to green space, paired with the suburb's larger residential lots, is one of the main draws for buyers moving out from more built-up inner and middle-ring suburbs.
The property market
Ringwood North's property market is dominated by houses, which make up 80% of current listings, with townhouses at 14%, apartments and units at 5% and a small remaining share of vacant land. This dwelling mix reflects the suburb's low-density, family-home character rather than any significant unit development.
The median house price currently sits at $1.36 million, following recent growth of 6.7%, indicating solid ongoing demand for the area's larger blocks and family-sized homes. Median rent is $800 per week, positioning Ringwood North as a premium option within the broader Ringwood area, in line with its leafy surrounds and proximity to well-regarded local schools.
