Chelsea, MA Apartments for Rent

Chelsea may be the smallest city in Massachusetts by land area, but it packs a lot into its three square miles. This densely populated community sits along the Mystic River, connected to Boston by the Tobin Bridge. When you're looking for apartments for rent in Chelsea, you'll find everything from historic Victorian buildings to modern apartment communities, all within walking distance of local shops and transit options. The city's history goes back to 1624, when it became one of the first permanent settlements by Boston Harbor—you can still see that heritage in the narrow streets and classic brick architecture.

Renting in Chelsea makes sense if you want easy access to Boston without paying downtown prices. The MBTA gets you to the city center through Bellingham Square station and the 111 bus route, plus Logan Airport is less than three miles away. For everyday needs, there's Mystic Mall for shopping, Mary O'Malley State Park when you want some fresh air, and Bunker Hill Community College right in town. Studios here average about $2,214 per month, while one-bedrooms run around $2,426—noticeably less than what you'd pay in Charlestown or East Boston. With great transit connections and a walkable downtown, Chelsea gives you Boston access at a price that works.
