Compared to the neighborhood I grew up in, my neighborhood in Chelmsford is quiet, safe and family oriented. I love that everyone is so available to lend a hand if needed, kids are riding their bikes, people are active and care about their landscaping. The neighborhood is bright and clean and welcoming!
A nice quiet town where people are friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed growing up here and having the opportunity to go to Chelmsford High School which is a great high school. The sports were also very good at the high school which inspired me to further peruse sports in college. Its a pretty tight knit community where everyone knows their neighbors and what is going on in the town. Another plus is that there is the bike path that goes from lowell and through chelmsford, ending in westford. Nice proximity to lowell which is a fun city to explore and 40 minutes from Boston. It is also great because it is close to the New Hampshire boarder and a 40 minute drive to the coast. Lots of benefits to living in chelmsford and my family has really enjoyed all of them. I would suggest this as a very family friends area to raise kids in because of the awesome schooling system we have here. I'd also suggest for anyone to check out great brook farms which is a gem in our town that is on the boarder..
Chelmsford is a very diverse town, with numerous historical landmarks that add to its uniqueness and beauty. The community is very close knitted and connected. I’ve lived here for my entire life and just love the environment and activities that there are such as the Bike Trail, eating at Rosie’s diner which was featured on a TV show about restaurants, the Christmas tree lighting, and the fourth of July parade in the center of town. I love Chelmsford because it has a good balance and vibe.
