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".
