The township features a diverse selection of green spaces, with about ten parks available for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment.

Characteristics

Transportation

Commuting by car is especially convenient in Airport. Most real estate listings are a reasonably short car ride from the closest highway, such as I-170, and it is very convenient to park. In contrast, the transit system in this township is not very practical. Thankfully, there is the Umsl North Metrolink Station, Lambert Main Trml Metrolink Station and North Hanley Metrolink Station with access to the MetroLink Red Line. Homeowners can count on various rapid transit stations on the MetroLink Red Line. There are around 10 bus lines crossing the township, and it is straightforward to find a nearby bus stop from most properties. Airport is not very conducive to cycling since there are few bike lanes, and there are a fair number of slopes for cyclists to brave. Airport is also not particularly well-suited for pedestrians since few daily errands can be run without needing to get in a car.

Services

Home buyers in Airport will appreciate that a grocery store is always only a rather short pedestrian trip away. Adie Road is among the best streets for groceries. In addition, those who like to eat in restaurants will have a good number of opportunities, and there are also about 10 coffee shops in Airport. With respect to education, locals will value that no matter where their home is situated in Airport, primary schools are close by. On the other hand, residents may consider it very difficult to reach high schools without a vehicle. Locals benefit from public and private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level.

Character

There are a lot of green spaces to enjoy in Airport. It is easy to get to parks from most locations within the township since there are around 50 of them close by for residents to discover. It is relatively serene in this township, due to the presence of very few people out and about on the streets.
