Characteristics

Transportation

The preferred method of transportation in Belvedere is usually driving. It is a reasonably short drive to the closest highway from any location in this neighborhood, and it is very convenient to come across a place to park. However, Belvedere is not very transit friendly. Nonetheless, the neighborhood is served by a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far from most residences. Getting around as a pedestrian is not very convenient for property owners in Belvedere because few daily needs can be met without the use of a car. Belvedere is also not especially suited for biking as the bicycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive, and there is a considerable amount of hills.

Services

It is a rather short pedestrian trip to get to both primary and secondary schools from anywhere in Belvedere. Residents benefit from public and private high schools. When it comes to food, in most cases, a vehicle is needed to buy groceries. However, Belvedere is a good place in which to go out to eat, and a small variety of coffee shops is available as well.

Character

Belvedere is a "jack-of-all-trades" when it comes to the feel of this area. Belvedere is very quiet overall, as noise from streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue.
