Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are an excellent transportation option in this neighborhood. It is very convenient to park, and nearby highways, such as I-95, are reasonably easy to access from anywhere in this area. In contrast, Dumfries is not an especially pleasant part of Dumfries for getting around by public transit. Thankfully, there are a few bus lines passing through the neighborhood, and bus stops are commonly very close by. The bike is a sometimes poor means of transportation in this area because the bicycling infrastructure is not very well-developed, and there are quite a few slopes. Dumfries is also not particularly well-suited for those who travel as pedestrians because many daily needs are occasionally difficult to meet without a car.
