About the neighborhood

Despite modest bicycling infrastructure, the tranquil atmosphere and abundant parking opportunities make Union a desirable place to settle in a relaxed environment.

Characteristics

Transportation

The best way to navigate Union is very often a car. It is especially convenient to park, and many homes for sale are a short drive from the nearest highway. Cycling is challenging in Union because bicycle riders encounter a significant amount of hills, and there are few bike lanes. It is also inconvenient for pedestrians to navigate Union since few common errands can be run without the use of a car.

Services

A vehicle is generally required in this township to access one of approximately 20 supermarkets. Nonetheless, getting to the closest pharmacy and therefore some staple foods is typically convenient. A limited variety of restaurants can be found in this township as well. Concerning education, residents will welcome the proximity to primary schools, which are within a short distance from the majority of properties for sale in Union. In contrast, there are only a very small number of high schools and thus they can be a very long trip away. Home buyers have the option of public and private schools at both the elementary and high school level.

Character

Union offers a relaxed ambience. Union is reasonably good for those who need quiet surroundings, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor - however some areas can be quite noisy, especially closer to the airport (Lawrence County Airpark).
