Characteristics

Transportation

The best means of transportation in Comfort is very often a car. This community is not very suitable for those who travel as pedestrians as very few day-to-day needs can be carried out without a car. Comfort is also not very amenable to bicycling as the cycling infrastructure is not very well-developed, and there are quite a few slopes.

Services

A vehicle is often needed in Comfort to access the closest supermarket. Nevertheless, pharmacies are generally very easy to reach without a car and supply some staple foods. There are also a few restaurants in this part of the Charleston metropolitan area. With respect to education, it is a very short trip to access primary schools from anywhere in Comfort. However, it can be very hard to get to high schools without a car.
