Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is a great means of transportation in Airport. It is very convenient to park, and most real estate listings are a short car ride from the nearest highway, such as Edsel Ford Freeway. On the other hand, the public transit system in Airport is rather poor. Thankfully, house owners benefit from about 10 bus lines, and most residences are very close to a bus stop. Despite the fact that there are a limited number of slopes to challenge cyclists, biking is sometimes difficult in Airport since the bicycling infrastructure is rather poor. There are also relatively few pedestrians out on the streets of Airport, although many common errands can be run without needing a vehicle.

Services

Home buyers in Airport will value that a grocery store is always only a rather short trip away. Furthermore, a restaurant is commonly just around the corner, and there are also a few cafes in this neighborhood. Regarding education, it is a reasonably short trip to access both primary and secondary schools from anywhere in Airport.

Character

Airport offers a great variety of green spaces to enjoy. Parks, including Connor Playfield and Lodge Playground, are very well-situated and there are approximately 20 of them close by for residents to relax in, which makes them easy to access. Due to the presence of few people out and about on the streets, this area is relatively quiet; however there can be higher levels of noise for those who are closer to Edsel Ford Freeway, one of the railway lines or the airport (Coleman A. Young Muni).
