Characteristics

Transportation

The car is very often the preferred transportation option in this part of the Syracuse metropolitan area. It is very easy to access a parking spot, and most properties for sale are a rather short car ride from the closest highway. However, Central Square is not very transit friendly. Nonetheless, the village is served by a few bus lines, and the closest bus stop is typically very close by. A majority of the homes for sale in this village are located in places that are not very suitable for pedestrians as many daily needs are inconvenient to meet without a vehicle. Central Square is also not very conducive to bicycling because there are a good number of slopes to challenge cyclists, and the cycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive.

Services

A car is commonly required in Central Square to access the closest supermarket. Nonetheless, getting to the nearest pharmacy and consequently some basic food items is typically very easy. A small selection of restaurants can be found in Central Square as well. In terms of education, it is a reasonably short trip to access both primary and secondary schools from most houses for sale in this village.

The noise levels in Central Square are low, as the streets are generally reasonably tranquil - although that is not the case closer to the railway line.

Despite that, there are a few parks close by for residents to check out.
