Characteristics

Transportation

Ashley is particularly car friendly. The majority of real estate listings are a reasonably short drive from the nearest highway, such as I-81, and it is very easy to park. The bicycle is a fairly poor means of transportation in this area because there are few bike lanes, and riding is rendered difficult by the often steep terrain. Getting around as a pedestrian is also not very common in Ashley, although running daily errands is easy without a vehicle.

Services

Property owners in Ashley commonly need a vehicle to buy their groceries. However, those who like to dine in restaurants will have a fair number of options, and house buyers can enjoy a few cafes as well. When it comes to education, high schools and primary schools are not very numerous in Ashley, and thus not always within a short distance. At the elementary level, there are both public and private schools.

Character

Ashley offers a relaxed environment and will appeal to those who enjoy spending time outdoors. It is easy to get to public green spaces since there are approximately 10 of them nearby for residents to unwind in. This borough is also reasonably quiet, as the streets tend to be tranquil - although that is not the case around the railway line or I-81.
