A low-lying docklands suburb between the heights of the Sydney CBD and King's Cross to its East, Woolloomooloo has historically been a poor, working-class district of Sydney. This has changed only recently with gentrification creeping up from Darlinghurst to the South, and the redevelopment of the waterfront, particularly the construction of the housing development on Finger Wharf, which boasts Russell Crowe as a resident. Areas of housing commission housing do still exist in the suburb, however.
