ממערב לבריכת הסולטן שכונת מגורים ובמרכזה טחנת-רוח. ראשוני הבתים ניבנו ע"י הנדיב היהודי משה מונטיפיורי ושימשו למשכנם של יהודים תושבי הרובע היהודי בעיר העתיקה שהיו ראשוני יוצאי החומות. לאחר מלחמת השחרור, 1948, בשל קרבתה לגבול הפכה השכונה למשכנות עוני. היא שוחזרה ושוקמה לאחר מלחמת ששת הימים 1967, ובימינו הנה אחת משכונות היוקרה של ירושלים.

West of Sultan’s Pool is a residential neighborhood, dominated by a windmill. The first houses were built here by the Jewish philanthropist Moses Montefiore for Jewish residents of the Jewish Quarter in the Old City - the first Jews to live outside the walls. After the War of Independence in 1948 the neighborhood became a slum, because of its proximity to the border. It was renovated and reconstructed after the Six-Day War in 1967 and is now one of Jerusalem’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
