On the other hand, the public transit service in Deerfield is not very frequent. Thankfully, the neighborhood is connected by a few bus lines, and most houses are near a bus stop. Even though there are a limited number of slopes, Deerfield is not especially amenable to bicycling as the cycling infrastructure is fairly poor. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not particularly practical for home buyers in this part of the city as few common errands can be run without a vehicle.
