Characteristics
Transportation
The favored transportation option in Big Chimney is usually driving. It is very easy to access a place to park, and most of the street infrastructure is built for driving. However, public transit riders may have limited choices in this community as a result of the infrequent service. Nonetheless, homeowners benefit from a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most properties. Many of the houses for sale in this community are located in places that are not very well-suited for people who travel as pedestrians because very few common errands can be run without a vehicle. The bicycle is a fairly poor method of transportation in Big Chimney because there is a significant amount of hills, and there are few bike lanes.
Services
There are only a very small number of primary schools in Big Chimney and thus they can be a very long trip away. In addition, this community does not have any high schools. Regarding eating, house buyers in Big Chimney will appreciate that a grocery store is always only a short distance away. There are also a few restaurants in this community.
Character
