Dix Ford occupies the area around Ford Street, a four-lane, divided, commercial corridor with a grassy berm and some landscaping between the north-south traffic lanes. Dix Ford is situated south of Progress Avenue and north of Merrill Avenue and has flat terrain, so pedestrians and their pups do not have a hard time going for leisurely strolls in the area with no steep hills to climb.
The residential area consists of single-family homes. Large shade trees in the area provide beautiful fall colors and shade in the summer. Residential areas do not have back alleys or lanes so driveways and garages are located off the street fronts on residential properties. When you are walking with your dog in the area, watch out for residents that are backing out of driveways that intersect pedestrian paths. Drivers cannot always see a dog on a leash, when they are low to the ground, so keep your dog close to you.
