Northwood Town Center

I’m a new resident of the area but from what I know, this center is quite a number of years old. From my experience here (mostly at Del Taco, Carls Jr., and Zion Market), it does the job. The parking lot could use a small remodel. The spaces are small, the asphalt is quite rough in places, and the organization could use some work.
A lot of the stores appear to be closed (or open odd hours?). I’m here primarily on weekends when you figure stores would be open, but generally only Zion is. Zion gets a lot of traffic due to the higher Asian population in the area. Prices there are also very good.
There are multiple entrances/​exits to the center which makes for good traffic flow.

This center has developed a strong Asian influence over the years. Nothing wrong with that at all, just a comment.
I’ve been coming to this center since I was able to walk. Literally. I used to take dane lessons here (in a place that was next door to the karate; karate is still there, dance is now gone.) Used to eat at Northwood Pizza once a week (formerly in a large space with video games, still there, but mostly a take out shop now).
There are still some fast food spots here, Zion Market, a baguette place, a learning center, and a few other bits and bobs.
This is likely the center that you will come here, knowing what you’re looking for, and not one that you would come to explore, and hope to find something interesting.

This center has a lot of different things to offer… But there can be some crazy drivers in the parking lot.
