Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are a great means of transportation in Applewold. Many real estate listings are a rather short drive from the nearest highway, and it is especially convenient to park. Applewold is not very conducive to bicycling as riding is made arduous by the typically sloping terrain, and this borough is home to sometimes poor cycling infrastructure. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not very feasible for residents in Applewold because few day-to-day errands can be run without needing a car.

Services

Locals will welcome the proximity to both primary and secondary schools, which are within a short distance from the majority of houses for sale in this part of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Property owners have the choice between public and private secondary schools. Concerning eating, home buyers in Applewold will be pleased to learn that a grocery store is always only a rather short pedestrian trip away. There are also a limited number of choices for those who appreciate close by restaurants and cafes.
