Characteristics

Transportation

Thankfully, there are a few bus lines crossing the neighborhood, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most houses. Traveling as a pedestrian is not very practical for residents in Canyon because few common errands can be run without the use of a car. This part of the city is also not especially bike-friendly as there is a considerable amount of elevation changes, and the cycling infrastructure is somewhat poor.

Services

Buying one's groceries frequently demands the use of a car in this part of the city. Nevertheless, getting to the nearest pharmacy and therefore some basic food items is usually convenient. Those who like to dine in restaurants will have a fair number of options, and there are also a few coffee shops in Canyon. With respect to education, primary schools are convenient to reach without a vehicle from most houses for sale in Canyon. On the other hand, high schools are not abundant and therefore may require a very long pedestrian trip to get to. At the elementary level, there are both public and private schools.

Character

Canyon offers an unique mix of areas that are both busy and quiet. Even though the atmosphere is not the liveliest in this part of Santa Fe with the nightlife venues in nearby neighborhoods, it is very difficult to find a place to grab a drink since they are generally located very far. At the same time, this neighborhood is very quiet, as there are usually low levels of noise from traffic.
