Neighborhood Guide

Chelsea


Chelsea is a neighborhood on the west side of Manhattan, extending roughly from 34th to 14th Streets, between the Hudson River and Fifth Avenue. The area borders Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West, and the West Village. Chelsea has it all - nightlife, art, shopping, recreation at the Piers, a happening gay scene and a family friendly environment.

 

Much like its London Thames-area namesake, Chelsea has maintained a dynamic personality. Due to increasing popularity, property prices are catching up to high-end real estate prices from across the pond, too.  Large retail tenants, which have revitalized historic cast-iron buildings along 6th Avenue, have helped fuel the area's great popularity, and 7th, 8th and 9th Avenues also feature one-of-a-kind boutiques and restaurants that have contributed to making Chelsea so desirable.

 

The well-planned rows of charming pre-war townhouses share residency with the more recently built high-rise rental apartment buildings and condominiums with the highest level of amenities and luxury finishes. Old warehouses are being converted into gallery spaces, nightclubs and residential lofts. With the newly planted Hudson River Park and the mammoth Chelsea Piers Sports and Recreation complex, Chelsea is a neighborhood offering something for everyone.
