Characteristics
Transportation
The preferred method to navigate Chester is usually driving. It is especially convenient to park. Chester is moderately suited for cycling. A majority of the houses for sale in this township are located in places that are not very suitable for people who like to travel as pedestrians because very few daily needs can be carried out without a car.
Services
High schools and primary schools are not abundant in this township, and therefore not always within a short distance. Besides public schools, there are private elementary and high schools. When it comes to food, in all but a few cases, a car is needed to purchase groceries in one of approximately 10 stores. There are also a few opportunities for those who care about restaurants within a short distance.
Character
Home buyers who prefer a calm ambience will enjoy Chester. There are approximately 30 green spaces nearby for residents to visit, including Gill-St. Bernard's athletic fields and Seward Hill Preserve, which results in them being very easy to get to from a lot of locations in the township. This part of the Greater New York metropolitan area is also especially quiet, as noise from the streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue.
