Eastern Suburbs
Point Piper
Sydney's most prestigious harbour-front address, with the highest concentration of the country's most expensive private homes and a population of fewer than 800. A tiny finger of land between Rose Bay and Double Bay, dominated by harbour-front estates. Suits ultra-high-net-worth buyers wanting one of Sydney's most discreet and tightly-held postcodes.
