Characteristics

Transportation

Craigsville is particularly car friendly. It is very easy to find a parking spot. Commuting by bicycle is challenging in Craigsville as bike riders encounter quite a few slopes, and the cycling network is rather poor. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not very practical for residents in this community as very few daily errands can be run without a car.

Services

In all but a few cases, a vehicle is needed to do groceries. Nevertheless, it is generally a reasonably short pedestrian trip to the nearest pharmacy, which can provide some staple foods. There are also a few opportunities for those who care about restaurants in close proximity. As far as education is concerned, home buyers may find it very hard to get to high schools and primary schools without a car.

Character

The character of Craigsville is exemplified by its relaxed environment. Craigsville is very good for those who like quiet surroundings, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor.
