Characteristics

Transportation

The car is very often the best method to navigate Barlow Point. The street network is rather appropriate for cars, and it is very convenient to park. Despite the fact that some bicycling-friendly sectors can be found, and there are few slopes to confront cyclists, the bike is a quite bad method of transportation in this area as there are very few bike lanes. It is also very inconvenient for pedestrians to move around in Barlow Point as meeting daily needs is very impractical without the use of a vehicle.

Services

Property owners in Barlow Point often have to turn to a car to reach the nearest grocery store. There are also a few choices for those who care about restaurants in close proximity. With respect to education, there are only a very small number of high schools in this part of Longview and consequently they can be a very long trip away. Furthermore, Barlow Point does not contain any primary schools.

Character

Barlow Point is a neighborhood to buy a home in for those who prefer a laid-back environment. Since there are very few pedestrians, Barlow Point remains relatively serene.
