The Chambersburg area is nice for families or for older adults. If you're younger there's very little to do, but you're only an hour away from Frederick which has more to offer. Job prospects are limited and you'll probably need to commute unless you want to work in a warehouse environment. Overall the city feels very stagnant but it has the majority of things an average person would need access to.
I've lived in Chambersburg my entire life and it has absolutely everything you could ever want in a small town... if you're a 60 year old. Growing up here you get used to everything Chambersburg has to offer really fast. Our dying mall goes to show our town could be better. The saving grace though has to be the relatively new Chik-Fil-A that every single teen has been to several times. I guess Chambersburg isn't really as bad as I'm making it out to be, it's a mellow little town and it's making me so much more excited to get on with my life and go to college and experience more of the world. All of my family lives here too so I guess either way I'll end up coming back here for a little while after I graduate college.
Chambersburg has an amazing selection of small businesses, and also has quick access to some larger stores as well. I deliver groceries and pizza around the town, and have gone to just about every part of Chambersburg. It has its nice, small town areas that are ideal for walks and with the new Library and courthouse renovations there is a lot to experience even if you have already visited Chambersburg in the past.
