Chelmsford offers residents numerous shopping centers and countless dining options. Shopping options include everything from Market Basket and Stop & Shop to Kohls and Michaels. There are hardware stores and pharmacies, small boutique type shops and the big box stores alike. 

The town center is host to numerous activities throughout the year (including the farmer's market). It's also a great spot to watch the local parades around Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. Within Chelmsford, you'll also find a vibrant town library and an active rec department.

Chelmsford houses a portion of the newly completed first phase of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail which runs through Westford, Chelmsford, and Lowell.
