Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are a very good medium of transportation in this part of the community. It is especially convenient to come across a place to park. However, the transit infrastructure in this part of Columbia is not very practical. Thankfully, property owners have access to a few bus lines, and most residences are very close to a bus stop. Most homes for sale in this part of Columbia are located in places that are not very convenient for pedestrians since very few common errands can be run without needing a car. On the other hand, bicycling is easy in this neighborhood.

Services

Primary schools are often a rather long trip away, and there are no high schools in this neighborhood. As far as eating is concerned, shopping for one's groceries often requires the use of a car in this part of Columbia. That being said, those who like to dine in restaurants will have a fair number of opportunities.
