Characteristics

Transportation

Getting around as a pedestrian is reasonably convenient for home buyers in this city; meeting daily needs is easy without a vehicle, and there are also a fair number of businesses nearby. However, the bike is a fairly poor means of transportation in this part of the Atlanta metropolitan area since riding is rendered difficult by the typically sloping topography, and the bicycling infrastructure is rather limited. Chamblee is very car friendly. The majority of homes for sale are a rather short drive from the closest highway, and it is very convenient to come across a place to park. However, Chamblee is not very transit friendly. Nevertheless, residents benefit from Doraville Station and Chamblee Station on the Gold. There are approximately 10 bus lines traversing the city, and it is especially convenient to find a nearby bus stop from most houses.
