Transportation

The preferred approach to get around in Inwood is very often driving. It is a rather short car ride to the closest highway, such as I-81, from any home in Inwood, and it is very convenient to find a parking spot. Bicycling is challenging in this part of the Hagerstown-Martinsburg metropolitan area because there are a good number of slopes for cyclists to brave, and the cycling infrastructure is quite bad. Getting around as a pedestrian is also not very convenient for residents in this community as few day-to-day needs can be carried out without a vehicle.
