Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is a very good means of transportation in Clinton. It is especially convenient to park. In contrast, the public transit infrastructure in Clinton is rather limited. Thankfully, house owners have access to a few bus lines, and most properties are very close to a bus stop. A majority of the homes for sale in this community are located in places that are not very suitable for pedestrians because carrying out daily needs is occasionally difficult without a vehicle. Clinton is also not particularly bike-friendly since there are a good number of elevation changes to challenge cyclists, and the cycling infrastructure is rather poor.

Services

Property buyers will value that wherever their house is located in Clinton, primary schools are close by. In contrast, there are only a very small number of high schools and therefore they can be a very long distance away. Besides public schools, there are private elementary and high schools. With respect to eating, getting to one of about 20 grocery stores as pedestrians is practical for some, but not all, house buyers in Clinton. There are also a few choices for those who appreciate restaurants and cafes in close proximity.
