Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are a very good mode of transportation in this part of Newark. Coming across a parking spot is quite easy. In contrast, the public transit infrastructure in Devon is not very convenient. Nonetheless, it is easy to come across a nearby train station, such as the Newark on the Wilmington/Newark Line and Wilmington / Newark Line, from the bulk of properties in the neighborhood. The neighborhood is linked by a few bus lines, and bus stops are ordinarily very close by. Many of the houses for sale in this area are located in places that are not especially suitable for pedestrians because most daily needs are at times challenging to meet without a car. On the other hand, Devon is reasonably amenable to bicycling.

Services

Primary schools are especially convenient to reach as a pedestrian from anywhere in this part of Newark. However, high schools are not abundant and consequently not always within a short distance.

In addition, a restaurant is typically just around the corner, and a limited variety of coffee shops can be found as well.
