Chelsea Business District

Chelsea Business District Although the Chelsea neighborhood was named in 1901, it's experiencing rejuvenation by entrepreneurs and trendsetting craftsmen. Stop in and get to know us!

Chelsea is the business district of Norfolk’s West Ghent, but it’s so much more! Although it’s existed for decades, for the past five years, it has experienced an organic rejuvenation, and now dozens of cutting-edge local businesses, organizations, entrepreneurs, and craftsmen all call Chelsea home. In just a few, pedestrian-friendly blocks you’ll find everything from great restaurants, award-winn

ing bars, and a bakery to a creative writing school, a florist, and a shipyard; a brewery, antique shops, and boutique gyms to a plumber, great gift shops, and specialty manufacturers.
