LGBTQ+ Community Invited to ‘Come Out and Sea’ Atlantic City’s Chelsea Neighborhood

(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ – March 17, 2022) – The Chelsea Economic Development Corporation (Chelsea EDC) is inviting LGBTQ+ community members from the region to “Come Out and Sea” Atlantic City’s Chelsea neighborhood and discover the many reasons this thriving and inclusive community is emerging as the ideal investment opportunity for potential homeowners at the Jersey Shore.

On Friday, April 22, 2022, a “Pride in Home Ownership Tour – Come Out and Sea” event will afford attendees the opportunity to tour the up-and-coming Chelsea neighborhood and hear speaker presentations by Atlantic City LGBTQ+ community members, including details on real estate deals and financial incentives for homebuyers. The tour will also include a complimentary happy hour at the Noyes Arts Garage of Stockton University featuring local international food offerings and live entertainment, as well as a chance to experience Tropicana Atlantic City’s gay-friendly nightlife and adult scene with free admission to Boogie Nights. The event will conclude with an optional stay at Tropicana with discounted room rates.

The Chelsea neighborhood is situated between Atlantic City’s pristine beach and expansive bay and includes the World-Famous Boardwalk, Stockton University’s bustling new campus and Tropicana Atlantic City, with its 24/7 gay-friendly nightlife. A multicultural community, Chelsea is home to hundreds of independently owned, culturally diverse businesses, including dozens of international restaurants, and boasts the most diversified neighborhood economy in Atlantic City.

Home ownership is currently possible for $300K or less in Chelsea, and the area is primed for economic revitalization. In addition to Stockton University’s newly built campus and planned student housing facilities, Chelsea is home to a burgeoning business district that anchors the regional headquarters of South Jersey Gas, as well as world-class gaming, hospitality, entertainment and culinary offerings. Additionally, with its natural amenities, bayside and seaside living, historic inns and restaurants, parks and idyllic residential neighborhoods, Chelsea is one of the Jersey Shore’s best-kept secrets.

“Where else can you walk to the ocean, world-class dining, schools, clubs, A-list entertainment, the ocean and a Ferris wheel from your own affordable home?” asks Chelsea resident Michelle Tomko, an award-winning comedian and Atlantic City LGBTQ+ community ambassador. “Businesses are welcoming. There is a queer liaison in City Hall. There are allies in the community. From the top down, Atlantic City is committed to inclusion.”

Atlantic City is a flourishing, affirming LGBTQ+ community with unparalleled homebuying opportunities. While providing a chance for attendees to discover all that Chelsea has to offer, the “Pride in Home Ownership Tour – Come Out and Sea” event will also afford attendees a glimpse at other unique neighborhoods in the city, with stops during the bus tour for meet-and-greets with restaurant, bar and other business owners in the hip Orange Loop district, bayside Historic Gardner’s Basin and revitalized North Beach cultural hub.
