Chelsea has smaller households, fewer families with children and more elderly people than most other Melbourne suburbs. A large shopping strip is located along Nepean Highway. The largest shop is a Woolworths Supermarket that opened at new nearby premises in November 2009. The old supermarket site has been redeveloped as an arcade.
