At Oz Moving & Storage, we appreciate the wonder and enchantment of moving to New York. Even long-time NYC residents feel a sense of adventure when switching boroughs, given the difference in culture and atmosphere from one area to the next in such a diverse city.
Despite the excitement of moving to a new apartment or home in a New York City neighborhood (such as Chelsea), the whole process can be daunting.
While some think rounding up a group of friends to help with their move is the best bet, doing so can often add to the stress. Alternatively, hiring a moving company that’s satisfied customers for a quarter of a century–like Oz Moving–will help simplify and streamline your move.
Oz Moving has unmatchable transportation services suited to each client's specific requirements. We specialize in transporting various types of cargo, so you don’t need to sweat over logistics, no matter how complex they seem.

In any one of New York’s five boroughs, you’d find enough culture and points of interest to fill most countries. Manhattan is no different, and the Chelsea neighborhood reflects precisely that notion, offering its residents plenty to discover.
First and foremost, the Chelsea Market on 75 Ninth Avenue (between 15th & 16th St.) spans a whole city block. The market has become an iconic culinary destination, and a worldwide-famous brand viewed as one of the most reputable indoor food and retail marketplaces across the globe.
You could also check out the world-famous Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) at 11 West 53 Street–between Fifth and Sixth avenues–known for its nearly 200,000 artworks. It’s only a few minutes away from Chelsea via Taxi. Or, if you want to stay in the neighborhood, the Rubin Museum of Art at 150 West 17th St. boasts an impressive display of Himalayan art and cultural artifacts.
Of course, there’s also Madison Square Garden found between Seventh and Eighth avenue and from 31st to 33rd Street, above Penn Station. The landmark of all landmarks, MSG is the place to catch sporting events, concerts, comedy acts, and anything else you find entertaining.
Really, we’re scratching the surface with the above points of interest. You’ll also find the following attractions in Chelsea, Manhattan:

Interesting facts
Chelsea’s origins go back to 1750 when it was bought as a 94-acre strip of land and named after a London manor by British Major Thomas Clarke.
Entering the 1820s, Chelsea became a residential area and soon developed into a community that attracted Cuban-Chinese immigrants post-Cuban Revolution. This populational shift led to a surge of immigrant-run restaurants in the 60s and 70s, making the neighborhood famous for its Latino identity.
Chelsea remains synonymous with cultural tolerance, partially stemming from its roots as an LGBTQ+ safe haven in the 60s and 70s. During these years, gallery and club owners were attracted to the neighborhood because it offered lower rental costs. Soon, Chelsea became New York City’s gay center. In fact, Eight Avenue is still a hub for LGBTQ+-orientated dining and shopping to this day.

How To Find An Apartment To Rent
Renting in New York, in general, comes with its struggles, despite how rewarding it can be to live in any of the five boroughs. Landlords have rigorous credit and income requirements, so finding a place requires plenty of homework.
Desirable rentals are highly sought-after, and listings can disappear in an instant. Therefore, when checking out a potential rental, prepare your paperwork, and ensure you meet the income requirements. This way, you won’t be subject to delays that cost you the apartment of your dreams.
Appropriate documentation and paperwork include:
- Government ID
- A letter of employment (or from a CPA if you’re self-employed)
- Three recent bank statements
- Three recent pay stubs
- Your most recent tax return
- A reference letter from your current landlord if you’ve rented previously
- Refundable security deposit
- Renters Insurance
Note that you must earn an annual salary equal to or more than 40 to 50 times your potential monthly rent to qualify as a renter in the city.
Cost of Living in Chelsea
The current monthly average 1-bedroom apartment rental in Chelsea, Manhattan, is $5,220. For comparison, the average two-bedroom apartment rental in the US wasn’t even $1,300 as of February 2022.
The median home sale price in Chelsea is $1.4 million. That amounts to a 12% year-over-year increase.
Despite these loftier home and rental prices, getting around the city is affordable, with transit tickets from the MTA costing $2.75.
While the cost of living is higher in Chelsea (and the rest of NYC) than in most places in the US, the median and average salaries are also much higher. Since jobs here pay more, it aligns with the seemingly exponential living costs, relieving some financial burdens.
