Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are a great medium of transportation in this township. Most real estate listings are a reasonably short car ride from the closest highway, and it is very convenient to park. However, public transit users may find limited options in Bern as a result of the low service level. Nonetheless, the township is connected by a few bus lines, and bus stops are commonly a short distance away. Many of the homes for sale in this area are located in places that are not very convenient for pedestrians because carrying out day-to-day needs is at times difficult without a vehicle. Bern is also not particularly cycling-friendly since there are quite a few hills, and there are few bike lanes.

Services

It is a rather short trip to access primary schools from any location in Bern. On the other hand, there are only a very small number of high schools and consequently they can be a very long trip away. Apart from public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools. In terms of eating, some, but not all, house buyers in this area will live within a short distance of one of around 20 grocery stores. There are also a few choices for those who value close by restaurants.
