New York City Luxury Real Estate - Chelsea real estate

Chelsea is now one of the premier areas of Manhattan. Where it used to be mainly Latino and African-American, Chelsea has become a major center of gay and lesbian life in New York. 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. The Chelsea Mercantile Building has been converted into condominium lofts for the new media moguls and others who have flocked to the neighborhood in recent years. 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. The Avenue of the Americas, or Sixth Avenue, has long been home to weekend antique markets that used several of the long-vacant lots along the avenue. Now several of these lots are being developed into luxury residential buildings, adding to the area's reputation as a trendy neighborhood to live in.
