An attractive 6-story Art Deco complex in Chelsea built in 1937 with 162 co-op apartments The complex features a large central garden, impressive entrances, and many corner windows Currently, 3 apartments are for sale.
Chelsea Gardens is a distinctive Art Deco complex built in 1937, comprising two six story buildings at 250 West 24th Street and 255 West 23rd Street. The 162 unit co-op was designed around a large central landscaped garden that serves as a peaceful urban sanctuary for residents. The 24th Street entrance is particularly striking, with a canopied entryway set back between symmetrical wings and lush sidewalk landscaping. The buildings feature classic Art Deco detailing including corner windows, horizontal bands beneath windows, and vertical stripes above the top floor. Original architectural elements have been carefully preserved, including the lobby detailing and mahogany elevator cabs from 1939, though the mechanical systems have been modernized. Four separate Art Deco lobbies surround the garden, creating an intimate village-like atmosphere despite the full service amenities.
Apartments at Chelsea Gardens are notable for their sunken living rooms, a signature 1940s architectural feature that appears throughout the building. Units typically include long entry foyers or galleries, windowed kitchens and bathrooms, and multiple exposures with many apartments facing the quiet central garden. The layouts range from studios with sleeping alcoves to two bedroom units, with many featuring corner windows and generous closet space. Original details like parquet oak floors, plaster moldings, and picture rails are common, though many apartments have been thoughtfully updated with modern kitchens and baths while respecting the prewar character. One particularly notable residence was designed by Ghiora Aharoni, whose work is held in collections at the Pompidou Center, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Vatican, transforming a top floor one bedroom into an artistic masterpiece with silver leaf walls, curved architectural elements, and custom furnishings.
The building offers a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, bicycle storage for a fee, and private storage cages. The complex is pet friendly and maintains flexible policies including gifting, parental purchasing, pied-Ă -terre ownership, and accommodating sublet arrangements with board approval. In 2002, the building discovered approximately 5,000 square feet of unfinished basement space and converted it into additional apartments. Located between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, Chelsea Gardens offers immediate access to the 1, C, E, F, and M trains, the High Line, Hudson Yards, and the neighborhood's renowned galleries, restaurants, and shopping.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
