Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is usually the best approach to move around in this area. It is very easy to park. Getting around as a pedestrian is not very practical for home buyers in this area since very few common errands can be run without a vehicle. Washington is also not very amenable to cycling as the cycling network is not very well-developed, and there is a considerable amount of slopes.

Services

Property owners in Washington typically have to rely on a vehicle to buy groceries. There are also a few choices for those who appreciate restaurants within a short distance. When it comes to education, high schools and primary schools are not plentiful in Washington, and thus tend to be a very long pedestrian trip away. Locals benefit from public and private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level.

Character

The character of Washington is exemplified by its calm ambience. There are about 20 public green spaces close by for residents to unwind in, such as Lehigh Gap Wildlife Refuge and East Penn Riverview Park, resulting in them being easy to get to from the majority of locations within this area. The noise levels in this township are also very low, as noise from the streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue.
