of Maroondah, with a small part in the north west of the suburb being located within the City of Manningham.
It is bounded on the south by Loughnan, Warrandyte and Wonga Roads (these roads flow into one another continuously). Glenvale Road forms the westernmost boundary in the southern part of the suburb, with the Warrandyte-Ringwood Road forming the western boundary at the northern end of the suburb. The eastern and northern boundaries follow property lines, rather than roads.
Ringwood North Post Office opened on 9 August 1920, in the then rural area.
Ringwood North has its own shopping centre and also has plenty of parklands and reserves nearby without being excessively rural, like Wonga Park or Warrandyte. The style of its roads is distinct from the urban, parallel streetscapes of Ringwood and the circular, 'contour-line' style streets found in neighbouring Park Orchards.
Ringwood North is a hilly area, which is especially evident around the Loughnan's Hill area and Glenvale Road. Glenvale Road also marks the boundary between Ringwood North and Donvale and also the boundary between Maroondah and Manningham.
