Transportation

Avondale is very car friendly. It is especially convenient to come across a parking spot. Traveling as a pedestrian is not very practical for house buyers in Avondale because very few daily errands can be run without needing a car. The bicycle is a rather poor mode of transportation in Avondale as the cycling infrastructure is quite bad, and there are a fair number of elevation changes.

Services

Avondale does not have any high schools or primary schools. With regards to eating, it is rarely feasible for house buyers in this part of the Greater Philadelphia metropolitan area to access the nearest grocery store without a vehicle. Nevertheless, getting to the closest pharmacy and therefore some staple foods is generally easy. A small number of restaurants and coffee shops are available as well.
