Roleystone is a predominantly rural area with some rural-residential areas. Part of the City of Armadale, it is bound to the north by the Shire of Kalamunda, to the east by the Shires of York and Beverley, the Brookton Highway in the south and Kelmscott in the west. Characterised by its numerous parklands and agriculture use (particularly orchards), Roleystone's beautiful undulating landscape is impressive. Some major features include the Darling Range National Park, Araluen Botanic Park and the Araluen Country Club and Golf Course.
