Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is a great transportation option in this township. Nearby highways, such as Penn Lincoln Pkwy, are very easy to reach from any location in Collier, and it is especially convenient to find a parking spot. On the other hand, the public transit network in this township is not very accessible. Nevertheless, there are a few bus lines traversing the township, and the closest bus stop is usually close by. Collier is not very convenient for people who prefer to travel as pedestrians because running daily errands is at times difficult without a vehicle. Bicycling is also challenging in this township since there are quite a few elevation changes, and the cycling network is not very well-developed.

Services

High schools and primary schools are not plentiful in Collier, and thus may be a very long distance away. Locals can choose between public and private schools at both the elementary and high school level. Concerning eating, in the majority of cases, a car is required to buy groceries in one of around 20 stores. A limited number of restaurants and cafes can be found as well.

Character

Collier offers a slower-paced atmosphere. Collier is very quiet, as the streets are usually very peaceful. A large number of locations within the township have good access to parks, such as Kane Woods Nature Area and Farm Preserve, since they are sparse. Despite that, there are over 50 green spaces close by for residents to unwind in.
