Characteristics

Transportation

Traveling by car is very convenient in this area. It is a very short car ride to the closest highway, such as I-78, from any home in Annandale, and it is very easy to park. In contrast, the public transit network in Annandale is rather poor. Nevertheless, train stations, including the Annandale on the Raritan Valley Line, are not particularly far away from the bulk of properties in the community. There are no bus routes crossing the community. Traveling by bicycle is challenging in Annandale since there is a significant amount of elevation changes, and there are very few bike lanes. A majority of the houses for sale in this area are located in areas that are also not very well-suited for pedestrians as few daily needs can be met without a car.
