Explanation:

Francis Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" is the tragic story of Jay Gatsby and his attempts to reignite a relationship with his old lover Daisy Buchanan. This story also plays a contrasting picture of the rich and the poor people's differing world.

Considering the passage given in the question, it is evident that the narrator is referring to the differing worlds of West Egg and East Egg. He said that though his house was an eyesore, it was near "the consoling proximity of millionaires". This refers simply to the fact that being in close proximity to the rich gives the place a far more better advantage than the other houses. This contrast created between East Egg and West Egg suggests that the story's conflict will be based on the wealth and appearances of the characters living in both sides of the city.
