Characteristics

Transportation

This census county division is a fairly convenient area for driving. It is very easy to come across a place to park. On the other hand, the public transit service in this area is not very frequent. Nevertheless, there are a few bus lines crossing the census county division, and bus stops are typically around the corner. Bicycling is challenging in Florence because the cycling network is not very extensive. Thankfully, cyclists do not encounter significant elevation changes. Florence is also not particularly suitable for pedestrians because few common errands can be run without needing to get in a vehicle.

Services

The closest supermarket in Florence is generally only a reasonably short trip away. Residents benefit from over 250 restaurants and coffee shops as well. In terms of education, high schools and primary schools are not especially numerous in Florence, and therefore may require a rather long trip to get to. Along with public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools.
