}}
Chelsea is a neighborhood on the West Side of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. The district's boundaries are roughly 14th Street to the south and the Hudson River and West Street to the west, with the northern boundary variously described as 30th Street〔Regier, Hilda. "Chelsea (i)" in , pp.234-235〕〔(''Fodor's See It New York City'' ), p. 299. Fodor's Travel Publications, 2012. ISBN 9780876371367. Accessed October 20, 2015. "Chelsea... The boundaries stretch from 14th to 30th streets and from Sixth Avenue to the Hudson River."〕 or 34th Street,〔Sloane, Leonard. ("Kids on Skates and in Buggies Give New Bank a Homey Touch" ), ''The New York Times'', September 4, 1964. Accessed October 20, 2015. "The Chelsea area of Manhattan, from 14th Street to 34th Street on the West Side, is one of the city's oldest sections."〕〔Bennetts, Leslie. (If You're Thinking of Living In: Chelsea" ), ''The New York Times'', May 2, 1982. Accessed October 2, 2015. "While definitions of Chelsea vary, most people consider the area to run from 14th Street to 34th Street between Fifth Avenue and the Hudson River."〕〔Navarro, Mireya. ("In Chelsea, a Great Wealth Divide" ), ''The New York Times'', October 23, 2015. Accessed October 23, 2015. "Today's Chelsea, the swath west of Sixth Avenue between 14th and 34th Streets, could be the poster neighborhood for what Mayor Bill de Blasio calls the tale of two cities."〕 and the eastern boundary as either Sixth Avenue〔〔 or Fifth Avenue.〔 To the north of Chelsea is the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, also known as "Clinton", as well as the Hudson Yards; to the northeast is the Garment District; to the east are NoMad and the Flatiron District; to the southwest is the Meatpacking District; and to the southeast is Greenwich Village and the West Village.〔Neighborhoods in New York City do not have official status, and their boundaries are not specifically set by the city. (There are a number of Community Boards, whose boundaries are officially set, but these are fairly large and generally contain a number of neighborhoods, and the (neighborhood map ) issued by the Department of City Planning only shows the largest ones.) Because of this, the definition of where neighborhoods begin and end is subject to a variety of forces, including the efforts of real estate concerns to promote certain areas, the use of neighborhood names in media news reports, and the everyday usage of people.〕
Chelsea is divided between Manhattan Community Board 4 and Manhattan Community Board 5. It contains the Chelsea Historic District and its extension, which were designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1970 and 1981. respectively,〔, p.70-72〕 The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and expanded in 1982 to include contiguous blocks containing particularly significant examples of period architecture.
The neighborhood is primarily residential, with a mix of tenements, apartment blocks, city housing projects, townhouses, and renovated rowhouses, but its many retail businesses reflect the ethnic and social diversity of the population. The area has a large gay population. Chelsea is also known as one of the centers of the city's art world, with over 200 galleries in the neighborhood. However, , there is a widening income gap between the wealthy living in luxury buildings and the poor living in housing projects, who are, at times, across the street from each other.
