Thankfully, property owners have access to a few bus lines, and bus stops are typically a short distance away. Chaffee is not especially convenient for pedestrians as few common errands can be run without needing to use a car. This part of the city is also not very amenable to bicycling because there are a fair number of slopes, and there are few bike lanes.
