McCandless is a great township for young people since it provides many opportunities for growth and acceleration in the changing world. The environment is highly motivational and goal-oriented, so everyone has a general idea of what everyone's aiming to do. As for job opportunities, there isn't much of a selection for teenagers, but public schools (primary and secondary education) are of high quality! Safety is also a top priority in our township, so it is noticed quite often that security will float around an area where there seems to be even the slightest suspicion that something could happen. This township is overall wonderful and holds a special place in my heart!
McCandless Township is a great place to raise children and grow up in. I've lived in this township my whole life and have noticed many improvements during this time. I always feel safe while in McCandless, knowing the police department is right down the road. Also, the surrounding of North Park and its lake make it a beautiful place to live and exercise. Overall, McCandless township has been a great community to grow up in, and I am confident that it will continue to serve families in the future.
I have lived in McCandless my entire life and have seen it go through a lot of changes. The area has grown in recent years, providing more places to gather, shop, and have fun. This means that there is a lot of construction, which may be bothersome to some, but the outcome is worth it. The schools I have attended are good and in even better locations within walking distance to many restaurants. Each summer, there is a "McCandless Day" in a nearby park where the community gathers for activites. I would love to see more unifying activites like this.
