Characteristics

Transportation

Commuting by car is easy in this area. It is especially convenient to park. However, commuting by transit can be difficult in this part of the city by reason of the infrequent service. Thankfully, there are a few bus lines, and it is very convenient to get to a nearby bus stop from most properties. This area is not especially bike-friendly since the bicycling network is not very well-developed, and there are a fair number of elevation changes to challenge cyclists. Many of the houses for sale in this area are located in places that are also not very suitable for people who travel as pedestrians because few common errands can be run without a car.

Services

A supermarket is ordinarily accessible within a reasonably short distance from most homes for sale in Continental Park. There are also a limited number of opportunities for those who appreciate close by restaurants. With respect to education, high schools and primary schools are not particularly abundant in Continental Park, and thus tend to require an extended distance to get to.
