Ramsay Street is the fictional cul-de-sac in which the characters of the Australian 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 the grandfather of original character Max Ramsay (Francis Bell). 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 (at 37°51?31?S 145°10?19?E), is the real cul-de-sac that doubles for Ramsay Street. All of the houses featured in the show are real and the residents allow Neighbours to shoot external scenes in their front and back gardens. Neighbours has been filmed in Pin Oak Court since the series began in 1985 and it has since become popular with tourists. Tours to the cul-de-sac run throughout the year. The interior scenes are filmed at the Global Television studios in Forest Hill, the adjoining suburb in which Pin Oak Court is located.

No. 22
When Neighbours first began, Number 22 was initially empty. In 1986, it was rented out by Clive Gibbons (Geoff Paine), Clive rented the house from an unseen landlord. During his time there, Clive invited Daphne Lawrence (Elaine Smith), Zoe Davis (Ally Fowler) and Mike Young (Guy Pearce) to move in with him. Clive later began a relationship with Susan Cole (Gloria Ajenstat) and he invited her to move in. Susan left Ramsay Street and Clive moved into a flat behind his surgery. Following Clive's departure the house was bought by Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) for the Daniels Corporation, who wanted the land to build a supermarket on. The deal fell through and Paul moved in. When he married Gail Lewis (Fiona Corke), the couple lived there as man and wife until they divorced in 1989. Paul then rented the house to twins Caroline (Gillian Blakeney) and Christina Alessi (Gayle Blakeney). Paul later married Christina and they lived in the house with their son, Andrew (Shannon Holmes). In 1992, Caroline, Christina, Paul and Andrew left. The house was then rented out to Benito (George Spartels) and Cathy Alessi (Elspeth Ballantyne), who moved in with their sons, Marco (Felice Arena) and Rick (Dan Falzon). Benito and Cathy left in 1993 and Marco and Rick moved out.
Number 22 was left empty for a while, but Paul then rented it to the Lim Family for a month. Paul then sold the house to Cheryl Stark (Caroline Gillmer) and she moved in with her son and daughter, Brett (Brett Blewitt) and Danni (Eliza Szonert). Cheryl, Brett and Danni went to live with Cheryl's partner Lou Carpenter (Tom Oliver) for a short while, before all four moved to Number 22. Cheryl died in 1996 and Brett and Danni moved away. Cheryl's elder son Darren (Todd MacDonald) and Marlene Kratz (Moya O'Sullivan) moved in to help Lou. Marlene left in 1997 and Darren in 1998. Lou's youngest daughter, Louise (Jiordan Anna Tolli), also left when it was revealed that Lou was not her biological father. Lou then began to take in lodgers, including Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney), Drew Kirk (Dan Paris) and Darcy Tyler (Mark Raffety).
Drew and his wife Libby (Kym Valentine) rented the house from Lou briefly, following the birth of their son Ben (Noah Sutherland). Following Drew's death, Libby moved back in with her parents and Lou returned. Nina Tucker (Delta Goodrem) and her mother Trixie (Wendy Stapleton) moved in with Lou, but they both left in 2003. Valda Sheergold (Joan Sydney) bought the house when Lou began going through financial troubles. Valda later sold the house back to Paul. Paul kicked Lou out and moved his girlfriend, Isabelle Hoyland (Natalie Bassingthwaighte) in. Paul's daughter Elle (Pippa Black) also moved in and not long after, her brothers, Robert and Cameron (both played by Adam Hunter) moved in until Robert was sent to prison and Cameron died. Isabelle left the street in 2006 and Paul invited Lyn Scully (Janet Andrewartha) to move in, when Lyn was forced to sell her own house. Lyn left Erinsborough for Shelley Bay following her and Paul's brief marriage. Elle discovered that Paul had deceived her and was involved in her break-up with Dylan Timmins (Damien Bodie) and she devised a plan to trick Paul into signing all his assets over to her. Elle took in Ned Parker (Daniel O'Connor) as a lodger and shortly afterwards she let Paul move back in. Ned later moved into Number 26.
Paul asked Rebecca Napier (Jane Hall) and her son, Declan (James Sorensen), to move in. When Paul's affair with Kirsten Gannon (Nikola Dubois) was exposed, Rebecca and Declan moved out. Elle forced Paul to leave for a short while and she later invited Donna Freedman (Margot Robbie) to move in. Elle invited her boyfriend, Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major) to move with her. Rebecca, Declan and his daughter India were forced to move out of Number 26 and they moved back into Number 22. Elle sold the house back to Paul to ease her financial troubles. Elle departed for a job and Paul's youngest son, Andrew, returned to Erinsborough and moved in. Donna moves out to live with her husband. Rebecca, Declan and India move out after Rebecca leaves Paul. Sophie Ramsay (Kaiya Jones) and her sister, Kate (Ashleigh Brewer), move in during 2011 and 2012 respectively. The following year, Andrew and Sophie leave Erinsborough, while Kate and Paul move out.
The Number 22 set was given a makeover in time for the arrival of the Willis family, who moved in shortly after their arrival on-screen in May 2013. After two years in Canada, Piper Willis (Mavournee Hazel) moves in, just as her parents relationship falls apart. In 2015, Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin) moves out to live at Number 32.

No. 24
Number 24 was one of the three original houses featured in Ramsay Street and has been associated with the Ramsay family since the show began. Max Ramsay (Francis Bell), his wife Maria (Dasha Blahova) and their two sons Shane (Peter O'Brien) and Danny (David Clencie) were the first family to live there. Max and Maria's marriage ended and Maria left, with Danny following not long after. Max's sister Madge (Anne Charleston) moved in and they each purchased a half of the house.

Charlene, Scott and Henry all left within a couple of years of each other. Madge's niece Gemma Ramsay (Beth Buchanan) stayed briefly, before Madge and Harold took in Brenda Riley (Genevieve Lemon) and her nephew Guy Carpenter (Andrew Williams).

When Elle decides to confront her claustrophobia, she and Lucas Fitzgerald spend a few hours under the house. Lucas discovers a locket with the initials A.G.R. inscribed on it and Elle realises that it belongs to her grandmother, Anne. Lucas later discovers a hidey-hole under the house where a box, belonging to Anne, was hidden. The box contained a key to a bank deposit box, which contained Helen Daniels (Anne Haddy)' will. They discover the existence of a secret Ramsay child, Jill (Perri Cummings). Jill dies and her children, Kate (Ashleigh Brewer), Harry (Will Moore) and Sophie (Kaiya Jones) move into Number 24.

Brad's estranged son, Ned Willis (Ben Hall) is invited to move in to reconnect with his father. Brad and Lauren leave for the Gold Coast, and they allow Paige to stay in Number 32. She later accepts Mark's offer to move into Number 24. The house is then let to Shane Rebecchi (Nicholas Coghlan), who moves in with his wife Dipi (Sharon Johal) and their daughters Yashvi (Olivia Junkeer) and Kirsha Rebecchi (Vani Dhir).
Reception
Former executive producer of Neighbours Don Battye described the street in 1989: "Let's face it, it's a court, a dead-end street, it doesn't go anywhere. It's very much a community. Frankly, if you - in that one street - had somebody murdered, somebody with AIDS, somebody was an alcoholic, and one of the kids on drugs, you'd end up (with something) as outrageous as Peyton Place."
In September 2010, Ramsay Street came first in a poll to find out which television property is the best. The open plan houses in the street gained forty per cent of the vote. During a hostage situation in Number 32, Roz Laws of the Sunday Mercury noted "Ramsay Street becomes a disaster zone, it's almost as dangerous as Summer Bay these days". A Sunday Mail reporter observed, "Ramsay Street is the friendly sort of place where folk move into and out of each other's houses. It's much like Goldilocks testing the contents of the bears' house, depending on which love crisis the scriptwriters have brought to a head that week."
