Characteristics

Transportation

This area is especially car friendly. It is straightforward to access a parking spot, and most real estate listings are a rather short drive from the closest highway. On the other hand, Berclair is not very transit friendly. Nonetheless, there are a few bus lines crossing the neighborhood, and bus stops are typically very close by. This part of Memphis is not particularly suited for biking since Berclair is home to rather limited cycling infrastructure. Nonetheless, cyclists do not face significant elevation changes. Many of the homes for sale in this part of the city are located in areas that are also not especially suitable for pedestrians because few daily needs can be met without a vehicle.

Services

It is frequently feasible for home buyers in this part of Memphis to purchase groceries as pedestrians. Likewise, this area is a good place in which to go out to eat, and there are also a few cafes in Berclair. With regards to education, house buyers will welcome the proximity to primary schools, which are within a short distance from most, if not all, properties for sale in Berclair. However, high schools are not especially numerous and consequently tend to require a long trip to get to.

Character

The character of Berclair is exemplified by its slower-paced environment.
