| History of Chelsea
Located on the West Side, south of the Garment District and north of the Meatpacking District, Chelsea was once a downtrodden neighborhood. Currently, it is one of the premier residential areas of Manhattan. In the late 1990's, as Soho became more of a destination retail area, many of the art galleries that once thrived there moved north to Chelsea, pushing the neighborhood further west into what had long been strictly industrial and commercial blocks. Many of the buildings have been converted into residential and mixed use. While the main avenues and streets in Chelsea now teem with people day and night, you can still find quiet tree-lined streets of small apartment buildings and townhouses. Sixth Avenue has long been home to weekend antique markets that used several of the long-vacant lots along the avenue. Several of these lots are being developed into luxury residential buildings, adding to the area's reputation as a trendy neighborhood to live in. While Sixth Avenue offers national retailers that draw in flocks of shoppers, Seventh Avenue and Eighth Avenue provide mom and pop retailers and a multitude of ethnic restaurants that give Chelsea its true charm. The ongoing development of Chelsea promises an increasingly eclectic community that revels in its artsy and lively ambience, shops galore, a melting pot of chic restaurants and vibrant nightlife.
