Characteristics

Transportation

Many of the homes for sale in this part of the city are located in places that are not very suitable for those who get around as pedestrians as meeting day-to-day needs is inconvenient without a car. Borden Heights is also not very appropriate for biking as there is a significant amount of slopes, and the cycling infrastructure is not very well-developed.
