Characteristics
Transportation
Cars are a great mode of transportation in First Hill. Many houses for sale are a very short drive from the closest highway, such as I-90, and it is very easy to park. In contrast, the transit network in this neighborhood is rather poor. Nevertheless, the neighborhood is connected by a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far away from most properties. This area is not very well-suited for pedestrians because few daily errands can be run without needing to get in a car. Moving around by bicycle is also occasionally challenging in First Hill since riding is rendered strenuous by the typically sloping terrain. Nevertheless, First Hill boasts fairly good cycling infrastructure, and a few bike-friendly pockets can be found.
Services
It is often possible for house buyers in this neighborhood to do grocery shopping as pedestrians. Residents are served by approximately 20 restaurants and coffee shops as well. When it comes to education, there are only a few primary schools in this neighborhood and accordingly they can be an extended pedestrian trip away. Additionally, First Hill does not contain any high schools.
Character
There are a lot of green spaces to enjoy in First Hill. It is very easy to access parks from many locations within the neighborhood since there are about 10 of them close by for residents to relax in. Since there are very few pedestrians, this area is relatively calm.
