Center Village, located between Chelmsford Common and the Concord River, is a historic and civic Chelmsford neighborhood with a walkable village core and a green-centered streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Chelmsford Common and the junction of North Road and Central Square, where independent eateries, small storefronts, and town events cluster around brick sidewalks and shade trees. The Center for the Arts at the Old Town Hall and the Chelmsford Center for the Arts anchor the local calendar with exhibits and performances. Colonial-era homes and classic New England capes mix with municipal buildings and pocket parks. Side streets lead to riverfront paths and playing fields, while cafés and bakeries keep the center active through the day.
