Charming art-deco walk-ups line streets filled with classy boutique restaurants and fashion stores. There's money and sophistication in this inner city precinct, juxtaposed with a raw grittiness that spills over from nearby Kings Cross.
Pott’s point (or “Poof’s Point”) is known for having a sizeable gay population, along with nearby Elizabeth Bay (or “Betty Bay”)5. The neighbourhood is close to the city with Circular Quay a 20-30 minute walk.
