Characteristics
Transportation
Driving is a very good transportation option in Fairmount. It is very convenient to park. In contrast, commuting by transit can be challenging in Fairmount by reason of the service's low frequency. Thankfully, property owners are served by a few bus lines, and most houses are very close to a bus stop. Biking is challenging in this part of the city because the bicycling network is not very extensive, and cyclists encounter quite a few hills. There are also relatively few pedestrians out on the streets of Fairmount, even though running daily errands is convenient without the use of a vehicle.
Services
Primary schools are convenient to get to as a pedestrian from most houses for sale in Fairmount. However, it can be very hard to access high schools as a pedestrian. Concerning eating, the nearest supermarket in this part of Waterbury is generally only a very short trip away. Likewise, a restaurant is commonly just around the corner, and a limited number of cafes is available as well.
