Lots of house proud people, who combine to make The Ridge a very appealing street. Very little through traffic here—you really only drive along the street if you're visiting someone there.

We wake every morning to the sound of bellbirds, rosellas and kookaburras. The area is dotted with significant gum trees and the local council is committed to maintaining indigenous plant species. The Blackburn Lake Sanctuary is the highlight of the suburb, where you can feel as though you're in the middle of nowhere despite being less than 20 kilometres from the centre of Melbourne. The house blocks are generally large, which contributes to the above-average cost of buying in Blackburn. It's a great place to live in privacy and solitude.
