West Chelsea has always been known as New York’s contemporary art spot. Now The area used to be industrial, but has changed into a very popular night area, a restaurant row along 10th avenue offering plenty of eating opportunities for the casual restaurant fan. Chelsea market, a city block long, offers other shopping and dining experiences, |
| From outside, 520 W.19th Street brings a splash of color to the artistic district of Manhattan with its midnight blue terracotta facade; giving away its contemporary feel is the curving designs of the buildings overhangs. Floor to ceiling glass brings light in and a touch of flair. The living rooms offer privacy and space with plenty of light to contrast 5″ black oak wood floors. The kitchens are decked out with designer stainless steel appliances, and each unit comes with an Axxis/Nexxt washer and dryer. Finally, the bathroom brings it all together with marble or trartine vanities, tub walls and decks, and custom designed medicine cabinets. This area of Manhattan doesn’t see much foot traffic, but that might be because there is so much construction going on…construction has begun for a 1.5 mile park which is scheduled for completion in 2008, and plans are underway for a seven acre planted promenade, which will connect Gansweoort Market historic district, West Chelsea and Hudson yards. The area already has a park, seasonal stage, fireworks, public preserve and a beautiful grassland preserve. The Hudson River gives residents more opportunities to enjoy their days off, with access to a beach and a small boating facility, as well as a ballfield. Chelsea piers is next, and it is geared for the sports enthusiast with a sports center and a 30 acre sports complex. [ Contact us ] [ 520 West Chelsea ] |
