It is very easy to come across a place to park. On the other hand, public transit riders may have limited choices in this part of the city due to the infrequent service. Nevertheless, house owners can count on Draper Town Center Station, Kimballs Lane Station and Crescent View Station with access to the 701 Blue Line. Residents are served by a few bus lines.
