History and architecture

The name Neutral Bay originates from the early colonial period where different bays were zoned for different incoming vessels. This bay was where all foreign vessels would dock, hence the name neutral. Architecturally it’s comprised of stately Federation houses and semis, medium-density townhouses and some post-war apartment buildings. Kurraba Point, now its own suburb within the 2089 postcode, is home to some of the area’s most distinguished and historic residences, many capturing magnificent harbour views.
