Suburb profile
Set among the hills of Richmond Valley, Greenridge is a smaller community with bushland views and a cooler, leafier feel. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. Fresh country air and elevated outlooks are part of the appeal up here among the hills.
Young professionals and new households shape much of the local mix, with plenty of young families in the mix. Transport options are solid enough for daily errands and regular trips further afield.
Homes are relatively affordable, which helps families and first-time residents put down roots.
