Characteristics
Transportation
Cars are a very good transportation option in this township. Nearby highways are rather easy to access from anywhere in Center, and it is very convenient to come across a place to park. In contrast, the public transit service in Center is not very frequent. Thankfully, residents benefit from a few bus lines, and the nearest bus stop is typically very close by. Most homes for sale in this area are located in places that are not particularly conducive to pedestrians as few daily needs can be carried out without a vehicle. Biking is also occasionally challenging in this township because riding a bicycle is rendered difficult by the often steep terrain, and there are a limited number of bike lanes.
