Characteristics
Transportation
This city is particularly car friendly. Chester is not very amenable to biking as there are a fair number of hills for cyclists to brave, and the bicycling infrastructure is rather poor. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not very practical for home buyers in Chester as running common errands is at times difficult without a car.
Services
Buying one's groceries frequently demands the use of a car in this city. Nevertheless, it is generally a rather short pedestrian trip to the nearest pharmacy, which can provide some basic food items. There are also approximately 30 restaurants in Chester. Regarding education, locals will welcome that wherever their property is located in Chester, primary schools are nearby. On the other hand, locals may consider it very hard to reach high schools as pedestrians. Besides public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools.
Character
