About Ridgewood
Ridgewood is a suburban locality in Perth's northern coastal corridor, approximately 40 kilometres north of the Perth CBD within the City of Wanneroo. Covering less than 2 square kilometres, the suburb sits within the Yanchep–Two Rocks urban area and has developed as a modern residential neighbourhood. With a population of 4,623 and a median age of 36, it attracts young families and first-home buyers, with a median household income of around ,554 per week.
The suburb has a notably strong British heritage, with England being the top overseas country of birth, reflecting the large expat community that has settled along Perth's northern beaches corridor. Nearby Clarkson and Butler train stations on the Joondalup Line provide rail access to the city, and residents are served by shopping at Currambine Central and developing retail precincts along the Mitchell Freeway corridor. Its coastal proximity, affordable housing relative to inner suburbs, and family-friendly layout make it a popular choice for growing families and new arrivals.
Ridgewood falls under postcode 6030 and is governed by Wanneroo Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Butler electorate.
