Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is very often the preferred approach to move around in this township. Finding a parking spot is generally easy. A majority of the homes for sale in this part of the Greater New York metropolitan area are located in places that are not very suitable for people who prefer to get around as pedestrians because very few daily needs can be carried out without a vehicle. Although riding a bicycle is made easier by the generally flat terrain, the bike is a rather limited mode of transportation in this township since the cycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive.

Services

It can be very hard to get to high schools and primary schools as a pedestrian from properties for sale in Berkeley. Along with public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools. As far as eating is concerned, a vehicle is commonly required in Berkeley to reach one of about 40 supermarkets. A limited variety of restaurants and cafes is available as well.

Character

The character of Berkeley is exemplified by its relaxed atmosphere. This part of the Greater New York metropolitan area is very quiet, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor. Finally, the majority of locations in the township have fairly good access to green spaces, such as Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge and Jakes Branch County Park, and there are over 50 of them nearby for residents to discover.
