Characteristics
Transportation
This community is particularly car friendly. Parking is quite easy. However, the transit network in California is not very convenient. Nevertheless, the community is served by a few bus lines, and bus stops are usually around the corner. This community is not very conducive to pedestrians as very few common errands can be run without a car. Cycling is also challenging in California since there are few bike lanes, and there are a good number of hills.
Services
In all but a limited number of cases, a vehicle is required in this community to access one of about 20 grocery stores. There are also a few opportunities for those who value close by restaurants and cafes. With respect to education, it can be difficult to reach high schools and primary schools as a pedestrian from properties for sale in this community.
