Characteristics

Transportation

The preferred method to navigate Forward is usually driving. The majority of homes for sale are a short drive from the nearest highway, and accessing a place to park is generally easy. It is inconvenient for pedestrians to navigate this township because very few day-to-day errands can be run without a vehicle. This area is also not very bike-friendly since Forward is home to rather poor cycling infrastructure, and cyclists are faced with quite a few elevation changes.

Services

Residents may find it very difficult to get to high schools and primary schools as pedestrians. At the elementary level, both public and private schools can be found. When it comes to eating, in vast majority cases, a vehicle is needed to buy groceries. There are also a few opportunities for those who care about restaurants in close proximity.

Character

The character of Forward is exemplified by its relaxed atmosphere. Getting to public green spaces, including Palmer Park and Whetzel Preserve, is easy from the majority of locations in the township and there are around 10 of them nearby for residents to visit. This area is especially quiet overall, as noise from the streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue.
