Transportation

Driving is an excellent transportation option in Bear Creek. Parking is generally easy. However, the transit infrastructure in this part of the Merced metropolitan area is fairly poor. Nevertheless, there are a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far from most properties. Bicycling is challenging in Bear Creek because the cycling network is quite poor. Nonetheless, cyclists do not face significant elevation changes. A majority of the houses for sale in this community are located in areas that are also not very conducive to pedestrians since carrying out daily needs is impractical without needing to use a car.
