Chelsea extends from the Hudson River toward Sixth Avenue, roughly between 14th and 30th Streets. Its side streets keep rows of nineteenth-century brownstones and the historic London Terrace complex, while the avenues mix prewar co-ops with newer buildings.
The High Line, the elevated park that opened in 2009 on a former freight line, runs through the neighborhood and is lined in places by newer condominium buildings. West Chelsea has many art galleries, Chelsea Market occupies a former biscuit factory, and Hudson River Park offers miles of waterfront to the west.
