Famed for its art galleries and architecture, Chelsea is a charming bridge between midtown convenience and downtown chic.  A lively restaurant and bar scene, many commuting options, and a sophisticated ambiance have made Chelsea a highly desirable place to live.  

Nightlife and culture are the bywords here; historically considered the locus of the city’s gay entertainment options, now there’s something for everyone, from exclusive nightclubs to casual bistros to an exciting live comedy presence.  Of course, Chelsea is best known for its unparalleled galleries.  One of the epicenters of New York’s art world, westernmost Chelsea is home to over 350 galleries, with small independent spaces showcasing up-and-coming artists alongside establishments like the Rubin Museum.  

Aside from the entertainment options of 8th and 9th Avenues, Chelsea’s residential blocks are quiet and beautiful, with its townhouses serving as shining examples of historic architecture.
