A quaint downtown district with historic charm

Historic Quaint Park-Like Walkable Waterfront

Belingham Square is a historic district in the heart of Chelsea that gives residents immediate access to City Hall, the public library, and the Bunker Hill Community College campus. Directly across the Mystic River from Boston, commuter times via train and U.S. Highway 1 average 15 to 20 minutes, making this neighborhood popular with renters, many of whom lease trendy lofts in renovated apartment buildings. The Boston Logan International Airport is also nearby for added convenience. Corner stores populate the community, so locals can easily walk to the shops around town.

Despite being the smallest city in Massachusetts, Chelsea maintains more than 30 parks, open green spaces, and community gardens. Kayem Park sits in the heart of Bellingham Square and offers bench seating amid towering trees, a playground, and local art such as sculptures, murals, and carved stone monuments surrounded by wrought-iron fences and gates.
