Our Top Chelsea Moving Tips
Starting at the most downtown edge of the neighborhood, Chelsea starts at 14th Street in Manhattan and goes north all the way to 34th street. To the east, it ends at 6th Avenue and runs to the Hudson River in the west. Neighboring areas include Hell’s Kitchen to the north and Greenwich Village to the south if you’re keen on venturing beyond these bounds. But, before you explore the rest of Manhattan, it’s wise to better know what’s in store for you in Chelsea:
- Recreation. Living here will mean you have your pick of unique parks and places to break a sweat. For starters, you’ll want to get familiar with the High Line Park when it comes time for visitors to come your way. This elevated train track turned greenspace is a site to behold, boasting great views of the Chelsea skyline and city streets. But the quirky neighborhood spots don’t stop there. You, of course, could peruse the vintage finds and do some people watching at the year-round Chelsea Flea to get your daily steps in. You’ll also want to make time to enjoy Little Island, a floating park that opened to the public in May of 2021. It has open lawns, trees, and even a secret garden. Entry to the park is free for all, but reservations must be made after noon. If waterside is the right side, then make your way over to Chelsea Piers, a Hudson River-adjacent sports complex that features synthetic sports fields, an ice skating rink, golf driving range, fitness club, and much more.
- Cost of living. Living in the city ain’t cheap and zooming in to examine costs from neighborhood to neighborhood, Chelsea is among the more expensive spots to call home. Among the abode types to consider, you’ll find housing options across the spectrum — shiny new condos give way to brick walk-up apartments and large apartment complexes. So what will it cost you to find an address? As a point of reference, renting a one-bedroom apartment will run you about $5,664 a month in the area. It’s up considerably, almost 25% from the previous year. Owning a home in Chelsea also comes with a hefty price tag; the current median listing price is set at a cool $2 million, which includes a median cost of $1,800 per square foot of space. The investment you make in where you lay your hat at night may be contrasted with what you’ll spend getting around. You may save a few coins when it comes to commuting to and from the area. You’ll have plenty of public transit options, from the MTA’s subways, buses and the Long Island Railroad. If you’d rather get along on just two wheels, it’s said that Chelsea has some of the safest bike lanes in the city along 8th and 9th avenues. If you don’t have a bike of your own, you can take advantage of the Citibike rental option.
- Neighborhood noshes. This downtown neighborhood packs real variety onto its plates. You can find flavors of all kinds and at all different prices. Wake up with a sweet tooth? Grab a hole in a few freshly fried pastries at Doughnut Plant. If you’re looking for a unique gift for a friend, head over to Chelsea Market. Shopping can really work up an appetite, so make sure you make a pit stop between shops at Los Tacos no. 1 for an agua fresca and tacos. A meal later in the day may be a challenge to pin down because you’ll have so many choices. If you only have eyes for seafood, then make sure to make a stop at Seamore’s for their red curry mussels or a lobster roll. Or, if a thoughtful plate is more your type of menu, you can savor the flavor of ingredients grown sustainably from independent farmers at Cookshop. Wash it all down with a night at Pier 57’s City Winery for fine wines and performance space overlooking the Hudson River. You just can’t beat Chelsea flavors.
- Exhibitions and entertainment. As a new Chelsea resident, it’s a must to better know the art scene in the area. There’s much to be discovered. You can even be a part of the show at the interactive Sleep No More performance. Set in an old hotel, you interact with other guests and the actors to uncover and piece together the storyline. If you’d like to keep on interacting with others, you’ll want to grab your dancing shoes and catch a performance or DJ set at The Shed. If you’d rather partake in the arts as a solo observer, there’s plenty of places to do that, too. There’s of course the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Rubin Museum of Art, showcasing the art and culture of the Himalayan regions. Don’t forget about the plethora of art galleries to enjoy as well, including the 20,000 square feet of exhibition space in Dia Chelsea. Soon, you’ll know where the neighborhood got its reputation.
