Moving around by bicycle is sometimes challenging in this part of Portsmouth because the topography is not especially flat, and Downtown is home to somewhat poor cycling infrastructure.

In addition, there are over 50 restaurants and a few coffee shops to experience in Downtown. Residents can find many nearby clothing stores. Concerning education, it is a very short pedestrian trip to reach both primary and secondary schools from most houses for sale in Downtown.
Character
Those who enjoy a vibrant atmosphere will feel at home in Downtown. Downtown has numerous streets to discover. Even though there are often many people around, a narrow selection of entertainment venues can be found nearby, and it is very easy to find bars because they are well-spread throughout the area. Main streets, such as Bow Street, are wonderful for those who like going out. This part of Portsmouth can be relatively noisy, as traffic during rush hour can occasionally be loud, although there are still a few quiet pockets to enjoy.
