Transportation

Moving around by car is very easy in Brookside. It is very convenient to find a parking spot, and nearby highways, such as Jack Nicklaus Freeway, are reasonably easy to access from any home in this part of the Columbus metropolitan area. On the other hand, this community is not very transit friendly. Nevertheless, residents are served by a few bus lines, and it is very easy to reach a nearby bus stop from most properties. Despite the fact that the terrain is rather flat, it is sometimes difficult to move around by bike in Brookside because the cycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive. A majority of the houses for sale in this part of the Columbus metropolitan area are located in places that are also not especially suitable for pedestrians because running common errands is at times difficult without needing a vehicle.
