Characteristics

Transportation

Erlanger is very car friendly. Finding a place to park is easy, and it is a reasonably short car ride to the closest highway, such as I-275, from anywhere in this city.

Thankfully, house owners are served by a few bus lines, and it is convenient to find a nearby bus stop from most residences. Erlanger is not very bike-friendly because the bicycling infrastructure is not very extensive, and bicycling is made strenuous by the often hilly terrain. Getting around as a pedestrian is also not very popular in Erlanger, even though many common errands can be run without a car.
