Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is a very good transportation option in this community. It is straightforward to find a parking spot. A majority of the houses for sale in this community are located in areas that are not very suitable for those who get around as pedestrians because almost no daily errands can be run without a vehicle. This community is also not particularly bike-friendly since riding is rendered difficult by the typically hilly terrain, and there are very few bike lanes. Nonetheless, there is a fairly high density of cyclists.

Services

There are only a very small number of primary schools in Anderson Island and thus they can be a very long pedestrian trip away.
