Area lifestyle

Point Piper is located 5.5m from the city.

Point Piper gets its name from Captain John Piper who arrived from Scotland in 1972 with the NSW Corps. He became known as the Prince of Australia because of his generosity and lavish entertaining, for which this harbour foreshore suburb is still renowned for.

The waterfront of Point Piper is dotted with the mansions of Australia’s most prominent citizens and the size of houses in this area, reflect the affluence of this dress circle area.

The most distinctive styles here mark every period of Sydney’s affluence with fine examples of Victorian, Edwardian, Federation, Art Deco, P & O, the solid ‘50’s, ‘60s funky through to sleek minimal. In the period between world wars, there were quite a few substantial apartments built, many taking advantage of exquisite harbour views.
