The hotel Chelsea may be out, but you should be able to find something affordable in some of the older working house apartments for sale in West Chelsea.

Dance and Other Forms of Theater
In addition to art galleries, visual arts are also an integral part of the Chelsea scene. Among the better known are the Dance Theater Workshop, the Joyce Theater, The Kitchen, the UBC Theater and the Graffiti Research Lab. The Joyce Theater is as renowned for its home – an old art deco movie house as it is for its performances.
In fact, architecture, modern and historic; innovative and traditional, is very much a part of the character of Chelsea. The types of condos and apartments for sale in West Chelsea reflect this. To a certain extent, many of them are also part of the celebration of art that is occurring in Chelsea.
