Characteristics

Transportation

Beaver is especially car friendly. It is especially convenient to find a place to park, and nearby highways, such as W Virginia Tpke, are reasonably easy to reach from any location in Beaver. Getting around as a pedestrian is not very practical for home buyers in this part of the Beckley metropolitan area as very few common errands can be run without the need to use a car. Traveling by bicycle is also difficult in Beaver as the bicycling network is not very extensive, and there are quite a few hills.

Services

Accessing the nearest grocery store as pedestrians is practical for some, but not all, home buyers in this community. A small variety of restaurants can be found in this part of the Beckley metropolitan area as well. In terms of education, high schools and primary schools are not numerous in this community, and therefore may be a very long trip away.

Character

The character of Beaver is exemplified by its relaxed environment. Beaver is wonderful for those who need quiet areas, as the streets are generally especially tranquil.
