Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is usually the favored transportation option in Buford. It is especially convenient to park. Buford is not very amenable to bicycling as cyclists encounter a considerable amount of elevation changes, and there are very few bike lanes. It is also difficult for pedestrians to navigate this city because many daily needs are at times challenging to carry out without a vehicle.

Services

High schools and primary schools are not numerous in Buford, and therefore not always within a short distance. Locals have the choice between public and private schools at both the elementary and high school level. As far as eating is concerned, home buyers in Buford will be pleased to learn that a grocery store is always only a reasonably short distance away. Residents of this part of the Atlanta metropolitan area are served by over 150 restaurants as well.

Character

The character of Buford is exemplified by its calm atmosphere. Most areas in this city are quiet, as there are low levels of noise from traffic - although that is not the case near I-985, Gainesville Con or the railway line. Finally, green spaces, like Lake Lanier Park and Buford Nature Preserve, are very well-distributed and there are about 40 of them nearby for residents to discover, resulting in them being easy to reach from most locations in the city.
