Potts Point Why Potts Point is the best address in Sydney

Overview

Sophisticated and cosmopolitan, Potts Point is often referred to as ‘Parisienne’ in its ambience, with its main tree-lined boulevard, Macleay Street, blessed with a traditional grandeur mixed with a chic urban buzz.

Architecturally Potts Point is renowned for its beautifully preserved Art Deco apartment buildings as well as some grand Victorian terraces which are found primarily along Victoria Street. Prestigious contemporary developments punctuate the surrounding character architecture, such as Ikon, The Pomeroy and Rockwall Gardens.

Dining and coffee are two of Potts Point’s greatest attractions, with restaurants and cafes dotting virtually every one of its quaint streets. Challis Avenue is particularly vibrant, with the local favourite Spring cafe, Lotus restaurant and the trendy authentic Italian eatery Fratelli Paradiso.

Macleay Street Bistro and the fine dining Mezzaluna are two of Potts Points old favourites, the latter enjoying a stunning setting gazing back to the city skyline. Most of Potts Points waterfrontage is devoted to the Garden Island naval base, although there are a few exclusive apartment blocks which enjoy direct access to the harbour.

Located less than 2km from the CBD, this vibrant suburb is popular with executives, a young inner city crowd and plenty of the well-heeled who have moved from larger suburban homes in search of a more vibrant address.
