Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is a very good transportation option in this part of Orlando. Parking is generally easy. However, traveling by transit can be difficult in this part of Orlando by reason of the infrequent service. Nevertheless, there are a few bus lines traversing the neighborhood, and most homes are very close to a bus stop. Although there are a limited number of slopes, the bicycle is a somewhat poor method of transportation in this area as the cycling infrastructure is fairly poor. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not particularly convenient for home buyers in Mercy Drive as few daily errands can be run without a vehicle.

Services

Primary schools are convenient to get to without the need for a vehicle from any location in Mercy Drive. On the other hand, there are only a few high schools and thus they can be a long trip away. Property buyers have the option of public and private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level. With respect to eating, it is typically practical for property owners in Mercy Drive to shop for their groceries as pedestrians. Additionally, a restaurant is often just around the corner.
