Charles River Center is one of three WS‑owned Bellingham properties, all within a minute’s drive of each other and easily accessible via Route 126 and I‑495. It offers a strong retail draw for a trade area population of over 304,000 with an average household income of $106,000. Anchor retailers include Whole Foods, Old Navy, and Regal Cinemas, and the center also hosts Chili’s, Supercuts, and a former Newbury Comics. Visitors praise the wide variety of shops, clean bathrooms, and convenient location right off the highway, though parking can be a challenge. Food options such as mac n cheese and hot lunch are popular, and customers enjoy a good haircut at Supercuts.
Pretty good getting in and out.. congestedAnd need to pay close attention to the lane markings. Nice that you can walk to pretty much any of the stores from one parking place.

Good place to visit. Lots of different shops. Only issue is getting in and out of the plaza. But convenient being right off the highway.

Whole foods is a great rest stop break for me. About 1.5 hours from my house and about 1.5 hours to the Cape. Clean bathrooms and I can always use a snack or something from here.
