Neutral Bay is situated about 1.5 kilometres (roughly 1 mile) north of the Sydney CBD. The property is therefore within easy walking or short public‑transport distance of the city centre.

The Neutral Bay ferry wharf on Hayes Street provides regular ferry services, and the North Sydney Bus Depot is only about 0.3 km away, offering numerous bus routes. The Warringah Freeway and Military Road also give quick car access to the CBD and Chatswood.

Several green spaces are within walking distance, including Jeaffreson Jackson Reserve (≈0.2 km), Cheal Park (≈0.4 km), Harnett Park (≈0.4 km) and St Leonards Park (≈0.6 km). These provide a mix of open lawns, walking tracks and recreational facilities.

The main commercial hub, Neutral Bay Junction, runs along Military Road and features a variety of shops, cafés and restaurants. The nearby Big Bear shopping centre also offers a supermarket and additional retail outlets.

The historic Neutral Bay Club, situated next to Ilbery Reserve, offers flood‑lit tennis courts, a bowling green and a bistro for members. It has been operating since 1882 and hosts regular tennis and bowls competitions.

Neutral Bay was named during the early colonial era as a neutral harbour where foreign vessels could dock, and the Aboriginal name for the area is ‘Wirra‑birra’. The suburb later became known for Arts and Crafts‑style homes designed by architects such as Bertrand James Waterhouse, many of which are heritage‑listed.

Neutral Bay has a population of about 10,090, with a median age of 38 years. The median weekly household income is $2,443, and 80 % of residences are flats or apartments, reflecting a predominantly urban, professional community.
