Characteristics

Transportation

North is very car friendly. A majority of the homes for sale in this area are located in areas that are not very suitable for those who like to travel as pedestrians because few daily errands can be run without a vehicle. North is also not very appropriate for bicycling because the cycling network is not very comprehensive, and riding is made arduous by the often hilly topography.

Services

Home buyers in North almost always need a car to travel to the closest grocery store. Nevertheless, reaching the nearest pharmacy and consequently some staple foods is generally very easy. There are also a few opportunities for those who care about restaurants within a short distance. With regards to education, it is a rather short pedestrian trip to reach primary schools from any location in North. On the other hand, residents may find it very difficult to get to high schools without a car. Besides public schools, there are private elementary and high schools.

Character
