Characteristics

Transportation

This neighborhood is an extraordinarily convenient part of West Linn for traveling by car. It is especially convenient to come across a place to park, and it is a short drive to the nearest highway, such as E Portland Freeway, from anywhere in this area. On the other hand, residents using public transit may experience few options in Bolton by reason of the low service level. Nevertheless, property owners have access to around 10 bus lines, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most homes. A majority of the houses for sale in this area are located in places that are not particularly suitable for pedestrians because carrying out daily needs is occasionally difficult without a car. Bolton is also not especially suited for cycling since riding is made arduous by the typically hilly topography, and the bicycling network is sometimes poor.

Services

It is a rather short trip to access both primary and secondary schools from most properties for sale in this neighborhood. Residents can choose between public and private elementary schools. Regarding food, property owners in this part of West Linn will be pleased to learn that a grocery store is always only a rather short trip away. In addition, Bolton is a good place in which to go out to eat, and there are also a few coffee shops in this part of the city.

Character

Those who enjoy a vibrant atmosphere and spending time in green spaces will feel at home in Bolton. Although the ambience is not the liveliest in this part of West Linn finding one of the about 10 bars is easy because they are generally situated in quite convenient locations. On the other hand, there are about 40 green spaces close by for residents to explore, including Camassia Natural Area and Clackamette Park, and they are very well-distributed, which makes it very easy to get to them.
