Just across the Tobin Bridge from downtown Boston, Chelsea’s 02150 blends waterfront industry with revitalized streetscapes and pocket parks. You’ll feel a tight-knit, multicultural community vibe around Bellingham Square and Admiral’s Hill, where Mary O’Malley State Park and PORT Park offer harbor views, walking paths, and dog-friendly lawns. The dining scene is standout for its global flavors—try Ciao! Pizza & Pasta, Katz Bagel Bakery, and neighborhood pupuserías—plus casual nightlife at Chelsea Station, with East Boston and the Seaport minutes away via the SL3 Silver Line and the Commuter Rail. Groceries and errands are easy at Market Basket and the Mystic Mall, with Planet Fitness and local studios nearby.
