Chelsea

Chelsea is an upscale Manhattan neighborhood.

Welcome to Chelsea

For those who love luxury in a smaller package, explore Chelsea real estate!

Located on the West Side, Chelsea is an upscale Manhattan neighborhood. Like most of Manhattan, the area is alive with people and activities. Sitting next to the legendary Hudson River, Chelsea is a hub for culture and entertainment.

Chelsea receives its name from the estate owned by British Major Thomas Clarke, who purchased the land in 1750. Thomas Clarke named the estate after the affluent Chelsea district in London. The area has since been divided into lots and single-family homes, and Chelsea is now in a constant state of growth and improvement. There is plenty to love about the area’s rich history.

Homes in Chelsea are a bit pricier than homes in other places, but that price comes with access to everything Manhattan has to offer from the comfort of a gorgeous neighborhood. With that being said, homes in Chelsea run about an average of about $2 million, which isn’t the priciest in all of Manhattan.
