Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is a great mode of transportation in this part of the city. The majority of real estate listings are a rather short car ride from the closest highway, such as US Highway 89, and it is very easy to park. Many of the homes for sale in this part of the city are located in places that are not very convenient for pedestrians as running common errands is challenging without a car. Independence is also not very suited for biking since the bicycling infrastructure is somewhat poor, and the terrain is not particularly flat.

Services

In Independence, locals will generally be able to get to primary as well as high schools as pedestrians. With regards to eating, in the majority of cases, a car is required to shop for groceries. A limited variety of restaurants and cafes can be found as well.
