Characteristics

Transportation

Georgetown is not especially convenient for people who get around as pedestrians because few daily errands can be run without a vehicle. Georgetown is also not especially appropriate for bicycling as there are few bike lanes, and there are a fair number of hills to challenge cyclists.
