Ramsay Street
Ramsay Street is the fictional cul-de-sac in which the characters of the Australian television soap opera Neighbours live. The street is set in the equally fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough. Neighbours storylines primarily centre on the residents of the street, which was named after Jack Ramsay, the grandfather of original character Max Ramsay (Francis Bell). A blackjack game between Jack and Sam Robinson determined whom the street would be named after.
Only six houses on the street are featured on a regular basis; numbers 22 to 32. Number 34 was featured for the only time in 2018. The cul-de-sac is at the end of a long street and the rest of the houses are on the other side of the main road which bisects it. The street behind Ramsay Street is named Mirrabooka Drive. A storyline within the show saw the name of the street nearly changed to Ramsbottom Street. Harold Bishop (Ian Smith) led a protest against it and won.
Pin Oak Court, in Vermont South is the real cul-de-sac that has doubled for Ramsay Street for the entirety of Neighbours' run. All of the houses featured in the show are real and the residents allowed Neighbours to shoot external scenes in their front and back gardens. Backyard scenes were moved to bespoke sets from 2013.
Pin Oak Court has become popular with tourists, with tours to the cul-de-sac running throughout the year. The interior scenes have been filmed at Network Ten's Global Television studios in Nunawading, except for the 1985 series, which was filmed at the studios of Flinders Productions from the Seven Network, the adjoining suburb in which Pin Oak Court is located.[clarification needed]
As part of the serial's finale in July 2022, all the characters living on the street, with the exceptions of Susan (Jackie Woodburne) and Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher), put their houses up for sale, however most of them end up staying. The 2022 Neighbours finale ends with the neighbours having a street party on Ramsay Street. On 18 September 2023 the show returned, with Pin Oak Court continuing to feature as a regular location. When Neighbours concluded again on 11 December 2025, its final storyline revolved around a threat to demolish Ramsay Street to make way for a freeway. The series' ambiguous ending was designed to allow any future revivals to feature Ramsay Street or not, depending on production restrictions.
Neighbours creator Reg Watson was sure that the neighbourhood setting was a good idea for a serial drama, following his work on daytime soap opera Until Tomorrow, which was set in a suburban street. He stated, "I wanted to show three families living in a small street in a Melbourne suburb who are friends." Location scouts found the quiet Pin Oak Court in Vermont South, on the "Sunrise Hill" estate just off Springvale Road.
All of the residents signed up when they were told that the show would likely last a couple of years, and they would receive payment in return for allowing filming to take place outside their houses. As of 2019, FremantleMedia continues to pay homeowners a fee each year for allowing them to film the properties. A full-time security guard is also employed. Pin Oak Court became popular with viewers and regular tours ran to the cul-de-sac.
Interior sets were built at the Seven Network's HSV studios in Melbourne. When Seven cancelled Neighbours in July 1985, it was immediately picked up by Network Ten. When the sets were due to be collected, Seven said they had been destroyed in a fire, forcing Ten to build new sets. The interior scenes are now filmed at Global Television studios in Forest Hill. In the 1980s, the interior decor of the houses was meant to be "unobtrusive and easy to watch." The majority of the furniture and wallpaper came from normal stores, but the curtains had to be specially made to hide the fact the scenes outside the windows were painted.
