Characteristics
Transportation
This part of the Lynchburg metropolitan area is very car friendly. Big Island is not very amenable to cycling as the cycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive, and there is a considerable amount of hills. Many of the houses for sale in this part of the Lynchburg metropolitan area are located in places that are also not very conducive to those who like to travel as pedestrians because running common errands is very impractical without a vehicle.
Services
Big Island does not have any high schools or primary schools. With regards to food, it is very rarely possible for property owners in this part of the Lynchburg metropolitan area to do groceries as pedestrians. Residents of this community can enjoy a few restaurants.
