Characteristics

Transportation

In contrast, this part of the community is not very transit friendly. Nonetheless, the neighborhood is served by a few bus lines, and bus stops are typically very close by. Getting around as a pedestrian is not especially feasible for house buyers in this part of the community since most daily needs are occasionally challenging to carry out without the use of a vehicle. This part of South San Antonio is also not particularly conducive to biking because there are a fair number of slopes to challenge cyclists, and the bicycling network is not very extensive.
