Bellingham Square Homes for Sale

Bellingham Square, located in Chelsea, Massachusetts, is a historic district at the intersection of the Mystic River and Charles Creek. Known for its vibrant Latin American food scene, the area features popular restaurants like Rincón Hondureño and El Santaneco Restaurant, and the Stop and Compare Market, a staple grocery store. The neighborhood is densely populated, with most homes being condos converted from multi-family houses and triple-deckers built between the late 1800s and the 1950s. Over 70% of residents are renters, and more recent developments include condominiums and townhouses from the 1980s. Bellingham Square is the hub of Chelsea, housing the city hall and serving as a major transit point for buses. The area offers various attractions, including Mary O'Malley State Park with its riverfront views and recreational facilities, and the Chelsea Greenway, a local rail trail. Shopping options are abundant with Mystic Mall and Gateway Center nearby, featuring big-box retailers and franchised restaurants. The proximity to Boston Logan International Airport, just 3 miles south, means residents may experience aviation noise, mitigated by the Residential Sound Insulation Program. Bellingham Square remains a lively and culturally rich area with numerous community events such as Chelsea Day and Dia de Los Muertos celebrations. Public transportation is convenient with Chelsea Station providing access to Boston’s North Station, and major highways like U.S. Route 1 facilitating easy commutes to Boston and Cambridge.
