Characteristics

Transportation

The car is usually the best method to move around in this part of the Greater Charlotte metropolitan area. The bike is a rather poor means of transportation in this city because the cycling infrastructure is not very extensive, and riding is rendered difficult by the often sloping terrain. A majority of the homes for sale in this part of the Greater Charlotte metropolitan area are located in areas that are also not very convenient for those who prefer to get around as pedestrians because few daily needs can be met without a car.

Services

A grocery store is generally reachable within an extended pedestrian trip from any home in Lancaster. There are also a limited number of opportunities for those who appreciate close by restaurants. In terms of education, primary schools are convenient to access as a pedestrian from anywhere in Lancaster. In contrast, there are only a few high schools and therefore they can be a long distance away. Apart from public schools, there are private elementary and high schools.
