Living at Linea means uncompromising beauty defines your daily routines, from prolific wildflowers and birdsong to Hudson River sunsets. The waterfront here is especially striking thanks to significant park development devoted to Little Island, Gansevoort Peninsula, Hudson River Park and the iconic High Line – an elevated railway park that traces the curve of the shoreline along the neighborhood’s north-south axis.
Nature expands on West Chelsea’s side streets where mature trees shade uniform rows of townhouses built to exacting quality standards in the 19th century. Prominent residents from Tennessee Williams to Patti Smith valued the neighborhood’s charm, along with easy access to all parts of Manhattan.
Distinctive shopping options abound, from provisions at Chelsea Market and household essentials at Garber Hardware to printed word at 192 Books. Culinary experiences range from attuned seasonal cuisine at Cookshop to the retro-chic ambiance of Empire Diner. Great entertainment is easy to find with casual and upscale bars and restaurants attracting a thriving scene after hours.
Befitting its creative and diverse community, West Chelsea contains numerous leading educational and cultural institutions, and over 200 galleries including David Zwirner, Hauser & Wirth and Michael Rosenfeld Gallery, that comprise New York’s largest art and design district. Residents can admire the innovation on West 19th Street with buildings designed by luminary architects such as Shigeru Ban and Frank Gehry.
