Chelsea

Chelsea, the area comprises the space between 15th and 39th streets and Fifth Avenue and the Hudson River, has experienced an upswing in its real estate market in the past decade. Once a working class area of the city, Chelsea first experienced its real estate boom within the gay community, as they moved north to occupy the brownstones and loft spaces that Chelsea had to offer at lower cost than the village. No longer the case with Chelsea real estate, it has become a hot spot in the past decade, attracting not only members of the gay community, but also up and coming artists as well as professionals, drawn by the addition of luxury mid rise buildings to Chelsea’s historic lofts and townhouses. A vibrant mix of residents makes Chelsea representative of New York City’s diversity.

Apart from its diversity of residents, Chelsea boasts amenities for any taste, including; Chelsea Piers, a sporting complex that offers innumerable activities, the Chelsea market, the 26th Street flea market, up and coming art galleries, unique shops and boutiques that give Chelsea a quaint feel among the restored townhouses and cast iron buildings.
