This part of the Lancaster metropolitan area is not very amenable to bicycling since there is a significant amount of slopes, and there are very few bike lanes. A majority of the houses for sale in this community are located in places that are also not very conducive to pedestrians because running day-to-day errands is challenging without the need to get in a car.
