Navigate local property complexities with confidence
Ringwood has a mix of older houses, strata developments, and newer townhouses/apartments. Buyers need to check for overlays (heritage, vegetation, flood, environmental), easements, or restrictions (setbacks, height, strata rules).
The Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) along with local government has finalised an Activity Centre Plan for Ringwood. This provides guidance for how the area will develop over the next 10–30 years.
A planning stage is underway for the redevelopment and expansion of the former Maroondah Hospital, now to be called the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital, to better meet growing demand in Melbourne’s outer east.
With Ringwood being a major activity centre, there’s growth of high-density housing, commercial developments and more traffic. This can lead to parking issues, noise, and congestion especially close to retail hubs and major roads.
Median house price $1.36 million. Strong market, with demand fuelled by family buyers seeking spacious homes close to schools, shops, and transport, driving steady price growth.
Median unit price $620,000. The unit market is expanding rapidly, with new apartments and townhouses near Eastland and transport hubs offering affordable entry points and strong appeal for investors and downsizers.

Most contracts settle in 30, 60 or 90 days. Timing depends on what’s agreed in the contract, your finance approval, and any special conditions (e.g., building/pest). We drive the process, keep everyone aligned, and let you know if anything could affect your settlement date.
Ringwood is designated as a Metropolitan Activity Centre, which means ongoing investment in infrastructure, retail, and transport. Rental demand is driven by proximity to Eastland Shopping Centre, Ringwood train station, and major employment hubs in the east. This makes Ringwood appealing for investors seeking both yield and capital growth.
Ringwood has significant medium- and high-density zoning around Eastland, Ringwood Station, and Maroondah Highway. Developers are targeting sites for apartment projects, mixed-use developments, and townhouse complexes. Larger blocks in residential pockets may also offer subdivision opportunities, subject to council approval.
Rental yields vary depending on property type. Apartments and townhouses typically return around 3.5%–4%, while houses on larger blocks may generate lower yields but stronger long-term capital growth. The presence of Ringwood Secondary College, Deakin University (nearby Burwood), and health precincts ensures steady rental demand.
