Characteristics

Transportation

Alandco is especially car friendly. The majority of real estate listings are a very short car ride from the closest highway, such as I-595, and it is very easy to park. On the other hand, the public transit network in Alandco is rather poor. Thankfully, the neighborhood is served by a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most residences. Alandco is not very well-suited for pedestrians since few common errands can be run without a vehicle. It is also at times challenging to travel by bike in this neighborhood because the area is not particularly flat, and there are a limited number of bike lanes.

Services

There are only a very small number of high schools in Alandco and thus they can be a very long distance away. In addition, this part of the city does not have any primary schools. With respect to eating, it is very rarely feasible for property owners in Alandco to do groceries as pedestrians. Additionally, a restaurant is often just around the corner, and a small number of cafes is available as well.

Character

There is a great variety of green spaces in Alandco. Green spaces, such as Secret Woods Park and Pond Apple Slough, are very well-distributed and there are a few of them close by for residents to unwind in, making them easy to reach. It remains relatively quiet in this part of Hollywood, due to the presence of very few pedestrians.
