Characteristics

Transportation

Bedminster is very car friendly. It is very easy to park. Bedminster is not very bike-friendly as the cycling infrastructure is rather limited, and there are a fair number of hills for cyclists to brave. Most houses for sale in this township are located in areas that are also not very well-suited for pedestrians since most daily needs are impractical to meet without the use of a vehicle.

Services

There are only a very small number of high schools and primary schools in Bedminster and thus they can be a very long distance away. Along with public schools, there are private elementary and high schools. Regarding eating, in all but a few cases, a car is required in this township to access one of about 10 supermarkets. A limited number of restaurants are available in Bedminster as well.
