Characteristics
Transportation
Canaan is an extremely convenient community for getting around by car. Biking is very difficult in this community as the cycling network is not very extensive, and there are a fair number of elevation changes to challenge cyclists. Canaan is also not very convenient for pedestrians as running common errands is inconvenient without a car.
Services
In all but a very small number of cases, a car is needed in this community to access the closest supermarket. When it comes to education, home buyers will welcome that wherever their house is located in Canaan, primary schools are close by. On the other hand, neither secondary schools nor high schools are easy to access without the use of a car.
Character
Canaan offers a slower-paced atmosphere. Canaan is excellent for those who need quiet surroundings, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor.
