"A funky, eclectic neighborhood" where variety reigns
Just minutes from downtown Chelsea, Broadway is a densely populated neighborhood with a flavorful medley of locally owned markets and restaurants. “It’s a funky, eclectic neighborhood with a lot of great Latin American cheap eats, and it’s just a nice neighborhood,” says Yoni Haiminis, a Realtor at Lofts.com who has sold real estate in Chelsea since 2007. “It has a pretty main street feel to it, with businesses going right through the middle and the waterfront park." The area's historic landmarks, 19th-century homes and pocket parks make for endless strolls and plenty to do. Though they aren't directly in the neighborhood, most folks can walk along the riverbanks of Chelsea Creek or sit atop Malone Park to overlook the cityscape. With annual community events, festivals and parades, neighbors are accustomed to gathering together to celebrate living in Chelsea.
Colorful murals dot many of Broadway's side streets.

Situated near downtown Chelsea and Boston
At just over 2 square miles, Chelsea is the smallest city in Massachusetts. The area is bordered by U.S. Route 1, which drivers can take for about 5 miles to reach downtown Boston in about 20 to 30 minutes when traffic is light. Broadway's public transportation options include Silver Line buses and the Chelsea commuter train station on Everett Avenue, just a few blocks west. The Boston Logan International Airport is about 3 miles south of the neighborhood and can be reached by driving down Central Avenue and crossing the Chelsea Street Bridge. Because Route 1 and the airport are so close, residents may experience air and car traffic noise.

Unique local eats like gnocchetti handcrafted pasta
Locally owned eateries and a variety of cuisines are common along Broadway's main strip and in nearby neighborhoods. Residents often start the day with an organic juice at Aloe Natural Açaí & Coffee Shop. For dinner and drinks, Los Agaves has a variety of tacos and margaritas. Ciao! Pizza and Pasta is a local favorite for its gnocchetti handcrafted pasta, which is topped with red wine braised short ribs and parmesan. Chelsea Station is a new American restaurant that was built inside a historic firehouse. Vicentinos Produce Market is an independent shop with a wide selection of authentic Salvadoran food. There are also two shopping centers within a short distance of most local homes: Chelsea Commons includes a Burlington clothing store and Planet Fitness, while Parkway Plaza has a Home Depot and Advanced Auto Parts. For everyday shopping and pharmacy needs, Broadway has a Family Dollar, CVS and Walgreens, but Market Basket is just about 1 mile away.

Homes at half of downtown Chelsea's prices
Broadway’s walkable urban streets are lined with Boston triple-deckers on modest lots and two-family homes constructed in the 1880s. Large Victorian residences are often converted into small condo units, and it’s common to see corner bodegas and first-floor businesses with living space above. “There’s also a lot of really cool lofts,” says Haiminis, who specializes in loft properties like the modern industrial-style loft with huge ceilings at 920 Broadway. “It’s very unique and hard to find a property with 22-foot ceilings.” Although its location and eclectic charm are big draws, Haiminis says Broadway’s biggest appeal is its prices. “It’s just outside of the downtown city limits for half the price,” Haiminis says. Condos cost anywhere from $450,000 to $600,000. Single-family homes that aren’t split into condos are hard to find, typically costing around $670,000 for a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home, while two- or three-family homes can cost between $850,000 and $1.2 million. “The market has slowed down a little bit with interest rates being higher,” Haiminis says. “It’s definitely created some challenges of affordability for buyers. But luckily, there are some really good programs. The city of Chelsea has a $10,000 grant for first-time homebuyers, and then there are some other federal programs available through banks.”

Hiking along Mill Creek Riverwalk, rainy days at Archery Games
Residents hike or bike along the Mill Creek Riverwalk, which is also a popular spot for bird-watching. At Creekside Commons Park, children explore the playground and jungle gym or head to the splash pad on hot summer days. Locals can head to nearby neighborhoods like Soldier's Home, where Malone Park rests at the top of the hill next to Chelsea Soldier Home-Quigley Memorial Hospital. The park has views of the Boston skyline and is known to be a little picnic spot. Other smaller parks include Merritt Park, which is part of the Mary C. Burke Elementary Complex, and the little Kayem Park playground on Chestnut Street. On colder days, Parkway Plaza has a few indoor attractions, such as Archery Games and Room Escape for shooting arrows or solving tough puzzles with friends. Next door is the Boston Playground indoor children's playground for wintertime playdates. Folks can also spend quiet time at the Chelsea Public Library among the bookshelves and cozy sitting areas. The library also offers loaner laptops and computers for those who work from home or need to study. Down the street is the Chelsea Community Center and Bosson Playground, which has sports courts, jungle gyms and indoor amenities like a basketball court.

Annual events in downtown Chelsea
Living close to downtown Chelsea makes it easy for Broadway residents to participate in annual festivals, parades and events. Held on the third Saturday of September, the Chelsea Day Parade celebrates this 400-year-old city with live music, street performers, fireworks and so much more. This famous parade is a huge draw to the area for residents and tourists alike. A few days before Halloween, the Chelsea Chamber of Commerce hosts its annual Pot-of-Gold Dinner and Drawing, where guests come dressed to the nines in Halloween costumes and enter to win a large cash prize. Chelsea hosts its Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the corner of Broadway and Winnisimmet Street at the tiny Winnisimmet Park, just outside Chelsea Theatre Works. On a cold winter's night, residents gather around to watch the lighting of the tree together.

Tours at the historic Governor Bellingham-Cary House
Like much of New England, the Broadway part of Chelsea is steeped in history. The second battle of the Revolutionary War, known as the Battle of Chelsea Creek, took place right on the water. Though the landmark is listed at the end of Forbes Street, most of the area is now closed off from the public due to structural issues at nearby abandoned buildings. Broadway is also home to the historic Governor Bellingham-Cary House. Located just up the road on Parker Street, the house is the only 18th-century building still standing in the city. It was here that George Washington stationed the last outpost of the Continental Army’s left wing during the siege of Boston. Free tours of the property are available by appointment.
Governor Bellingham-Cary House is a historic site in Broadway.
With quick access to downtown Chelsea from Broadway locals can enjoy all the different statues.
