Characteristics

Transportation

The car is often the preferred method to navigate this part of the Greater New York metropolitan area. Parking is generally easy. However, Fair Haven is not very transit friendly. Nevertheless, house owners benefit from a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most homes. The bike is a somewhat poor mode of transportation in Fair Haven since the terrain is not particularly flat, and the bicycling network is not very comprehensive. There also aren't many pedestrians out on the streets of this part of the Greater New York metropolitan area, even though running common errands is easy without a vehicle.

Services

In Fair Haven, residents will usually be able to get to primary schools without a vehicle. On the other hand, high schools are not plentiful and consequently not always within a short distance. Residents are served by public and private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level. As far as food is concerned, a grocery store is ordinarily reachable within a rather short distance from any home in Fair Haven. In addition, Fair Haven is a good place in which to go out to eat, for instance along River Road, and property owners can enjoy around 10 cafes as well. House buyers benefit from a fair number of clothing stores within a short distance.

Character
