Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is very often the best transportation option in this area. Parking is easy, and the majority of real estate listings are a rather short car ride from the nearest highway. Getting around as a pedestrian is not very practical for residents in this neighborhood as running daily errands is challenging without a vehicle. Centenary is also not very bike-friendly as there are a good number of hills for cyclists to brave, and the bicycling network is quite bad.

Services

High schools and primary schools are not numerous in Centenary, and therefore not always within a short distance. Locals benefit from public and private elementary schools. With regards to food, a car is usually required in this part of the city to access the closest supermarket. There are also a few choices for those who value nearby restaurants.
