Market Basket is the main reason I go to the point. But there is a great liquor store, my credit union, a Starbucks (although I never go), cinemas, rock climbing wall, a couple restaurants- tried them all. Mostly all ok.
Ample parking. Easy on, easy off 495.

Went to Taka Asian cuisine for granddaughters Birthday. They had some monkey balloons and Birthday head bands for the girls twins 4 years old. We were a party of 14 so had 2 Hibachi tables across from each other. One guest has celiac and needed a gluten free meal. The restaurant was very accommodating.

Great place with many shops and restaurants. Oniels cinema market basket and an indoor rock gym just to name a few places. Well designed and nice layout from u it being vacant lot with a quarter mile blocked road to upscale shopping center. Plenty of parking. This definitely proves the big box malls are a dying breed. The large malls were never built to their original design to be shopping centers grocery stores and places to live condo townhouses. Work where you live. Sadly never came to fruition.
Lots of good stores and nice aesthetics but good lord do people drive fast in the parking lot. I mean road speeds. Off the main road, through the roundabout, LEANING into turns. And not like a couple kids speeding. Grey haired adults. Not worth getting t-boned for a t-bone.
It depends on when you visit! We've compiled data from NASA on what the weather is like in Harvard for each month of the year: see the links below for more information.
