Chelsea is bordered on the north by Hell's Kitchen and the Garment District, on the east by the Flatiron District on the south by Meatpacking and the West Village and on the west by the Hudson River.

      Chelsea has evolved into one of the most desirable and expensive parts of New York City.  Along its main avenues and the High Line Park is dominated by new condo towers. The stature of buildings tends to decrease and as you move away from these areas you find old brick tenement housing converted to walk-up apartments.  There are tree-lined and quiet side-streets but the north end of Chelsea feels more industrial, lacks greenery and is mostly large apartment and condo complexes.  Given the size of the  neighborhood, some residents and agents refer to distinct parts, such as West or East Chelsea to describe the areas separated by the High Line.

      There is a mix of people here, although the middle classes are largely being pushed out by the increase in cost of living.  The neighbourhood is full of dining, shopping, and nightlife, art galleries, and studios, and the well-known High Line Park.  Chelsea Piers is a large sports and entertainment complex on the Hudson River with synthetic fields, a golf range, batting cages, an ice rink, a skate park, bowling lanes, and restaurants.
