Characteristics

Transportation

This part of the city will appeal to people who value living in a compact community because it is moderately suitable for pedestrians; running daily errands is easy without a car, and there are also a fair number of businesses close by. Despite the fact that riding a bike is made easier by the generally flat terrain, the bicycle is a rather poor mode of transportation in Bon Air as the cycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive. Driving is a great means of transportation in this part of the city. It is especially convenient to park, and most homes for sale are a rather short drive from the nearest highway, such as Henry Watterson Expy. On the other hand, Bon Air is not very transit friendly. Nonetheless, the neighborhood is connected by a few bus lines, and most properties are very close to a bus stop.

Services

It is a short distance to reach primary as well as high schools from most properties for sale in Bon Air. Along with public schools, there are also private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level. As far as food is concerned, it is convenient to reach the closest supermarket as a pedestrian from anywhere in this neighborhood. In addition, Bon Air is a good place in which to go out to eat, and residents are served by a few cafes as well.
