Characteristics

Transportation

Many of the houses for sale in this part of the city are located in areas that are rather conducive to pedestrians; running common errands is convenient without a vehicle, and there are also a good number of businesses in proximity. Even though a fair number of residents decide to travel by bicycle, biking is at times challenging in Ellsworth because there are few bike lanes, and riding is rendered strenuous by the often hilly terrain. Ellsworth is very car friendly. The majority of houses for sale are a short drive from the closest highway, such as I-205, and it is easy to access a parking spot. On the other hand, getting around by transit can be very hard in this part of the city due to the service's low frequency. Nonetheless, there are a few bus lines crossing the neighborhood, and it is very easy to reach a nearby bus stop from most houses.
