Transportation

Driving is a great transportation option in Florence. It is especially convenient to access a place to park. It is challenging to get around by bike in Florence because there are a fair number of elevation changes for cyclists to brave, and the bicycling network is rather limited. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not very practical for house buyers in this part of the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area since most daily needs are inconvenient to meet without the use of a car.
