Transportation

Driving is an excellent medium of transportation in Mortensen / Garson. Most of the street network is built for cars, and it is especially convenient to come across a place to park. It is very difficult to move around by bicycle in this neighborhood as cyclists are faced with a considerable amount of slopes, and the cycling network is not very comprehensive. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not very practical for house buyers in this area since almost no daily errands can be run without needing to get in a car.

Services

There are only a very small number of primary schools in this area and thus they can be a very long pedestrian trip away. Moreover, this part of Reno does not have any high schools. As far as eating is concerned, purchasing one's groceries often requires the use of a car in Mortensen / Garson. Residents of this part of the city benefit from a few restaurants as well.
