Chelsea was originally farmland owned by Captain Thomas Clarke in the 18th century. In the 19th century, Clement Clarke Moore, the author of "Twas the Night Before Christmas," developed the area into a residential neighborhood. In the 20th century, Chelsea became a hub for artists and the LGBTQ+ community.

Chelsea is a popular and expensive neighborhood, with a mix of luxury high-rises, townhouses, and pre-war apartment buildings. The median sale price for homes in Chelsea is around $2.5 million.

Chelsea is generally considered a safe neighborhood, with a lower crime rate than many other parts of Manhattan.
