Characteristics
Transportation
Balkan is a very convenient area for moving around by car. It is very convenient to come across a place to park. The bicycle is a sometimes poor means of transportation in Balkan since there are a limited number of bike lanes, and there are a fair number of slopes for cyclists to brave. Getting around as a pedestrian is also not very practical for property owners in this township as very few daily needs can be met without a car.
Services
In Balkan, locals will almost always be able to access primary schools without needing a vehicle. In contrast, residents may find it very hard to reach high schools as pedestrians. As far as eating is concerned, in all but a very small number of cases, a car is required to shop for groceries. Residents of Balkan can enjoy a few restaurants as well.
Character
The character of Balkan is exemplified by its slower-paced atmosphere. Balkan is excellent for those who need quiet areas, as the streets are generally very tranquil.
