| Bedford New Hampshire is made up of about 80
percent residences and 20 percent businesses. Most of the town's
commerce falls along the Route 3 corridor, extending from Manchester to
Merrimack. The Bedford Mall, small businesses, restaurants and a country
club are located along this area. Route 101 is another
commercial/residential zone featuring housing developments, and office
buildings. Near the quaint town center are old farm areas where many
of Bedford's lifelong citizens reside.
Bedford offers its own school system and
recreational facilities while maintaining a comparatively low and stable
tax base. The town recently opened a new 70 acre park that will
include soccer, softball, and baseball fields, as well as cross country
ski trails and fishing and ice skating facilities. Additional plans call
for an additional 12-acre park featuring a skating rink and concert
gazebo. The town offers many recreational and cultural programs.
