Chelsea is the epicenter of New York’s contemporary art world and a hub for innovative architecture.

Ridgewood

Ridgewood features orderly blocks of brick and limestone rowhouses, prewar tenements with decorative cornices, and multi-family buildings constructed between 1905 and 1925, making it one of Queens' most architecturally consistent neighborhoods. The M train runs through the heart of the area with stops at Seneca Avenue, Forest Avenue, and Fresh Pond Road, while the L train connects at Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues. Highland Park and Ridgewood Reservoir border the neighborhood to the south, and the Vander Ende-Onderdonk House, an 18th-century landmark, marks the historic Queens-Brooklyn boundary.
