“Warwick Township is a mix of rural and suburban living,” says Township Manager Kyle Seckinger. Noting the retail corridor, robust industrial park, recreation, infrastructure maintenance, and a strong sense of community, Seckinger states that, “combining all those things in one, I think is what makes Warwick a unique and nice place to live and work.” From walkability initiatives to strategic development, Warwick continues to evolve while preserving the qualities that make it unique. COMMUNITY OVERVIEW Warwick Township’s residents enjoy a strategic blend of residential neighborhoods, York Road retail, and Mearns Road industrial zones.The community shines through exceptional green spaces, boasting one park per 1,800 residents, a ratio that surpasses neighboring townships. “Only Warwick and Warrington had a park-to-resident ratio under 2,000,” notes Seckinger, highlighting pickleball courts and trails for residents of all ages. Proximity to larger retail centers enables focus on niche businesses, preserving charm.The highly-rated school district anchors family life, while recreational facilities like the new Recreation Station playground foster community vitality. This careful balance maintains Warwick’s appeal as both a bedroom community and thriving economic hub. STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT: TOWN CENTER AND WALKABILITY Warwick Township has taken proactive control of its walkability initiatives, shifting from reliance on developer-funded projects to direct township investment in critical sidewalk connections. “About four years ago, we wanted to take control to speed up the process,” explains Seckinger. “We’ve been installing the sidewalks ourselves, the Township has been funding that.” The township’s current focus targets Almshouse Road and Guinea Lane, strategically filling remaining infrastructure gaps to create a fully walkable community. This commitment extends to downtown development, where recent projects exemplify Warwick’s balanced growth strategy.
