Characteristics

Transportation

Owing to 2 train stations (for example, Mt Pleasant and Hawthorne) on the Harlem, and approximately 10 nearby bus lines, the transit network in this part of Hawthorne is practical. However, traveling as a pedestrian in this part of the community is not very popular, despite the fact that meeting daily needs is convenient without the use of a vehicle, and there are also a good number of businesses in proximity. This community is not especially conducive to cycling as there are quite a few elevation changes, and the cycling infrastructure is rather limited. In contrast, traveling by car is very convenient in this part of the community. It is very easy to park, and the majority of real estate listings are a very short drive from the nearest highway.
