WEST RYDE Real Estate For SALE

WEST RYDE is located 16 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Ryde and is part of the Northern Suburbs area. WEST RYDE is an extension of Ryde, which was named after the 'Ryde Store', a business run by G.M. Pope. He adopted the name from his birthplace of Ryde on the Isle of Wight, UK.

In the past, WEST RYDE was a working-class suburb which was home to many factories, especially towards Meadowbank. The factories of the past are slowly succumbing to demolition, and the construction of waterfront apartments is taking their place, with views of Parramatta River and Sydney Olympic Park and the suburb is growing more affluent.

WEST RYDE is home to a commercial area, close to West Ryde railway station and the Sydney Water Station that pumps water to most of Northern Sydney.

West Ryde Marketplace was reopened after renovations in 2005 and is a medium sized shopping centre featuring a Woolworths supermarket, specialty shops and West Ryde Public Library.

West Ryde railway station is on Northern railway line of Sydney's CityRail network. A bus interchange sits adjacent the station with services of 501, 520, 523 524, 534 and 543.
