Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is a very good transportation option in Palmyra. Most houses for sale are a short drive from the closest highway, and it is convenient to park. On the other hand, the transit system in Palmyra is sometimes poor. Thankfully, rapid transit stations, such as Route 73/Pennsauken Light Rail Station, Cinnaminson Light Rail Station and Palmyra Light Rail Station with access to the Riverline Light Rail, are commonly a short distance away from the majority of houses in the borough. There is the Tacony and Bridesburg on the Trenton Line. Property owners are served by about 10 bus lines, and most houses are very close to a bus stop. This part of the Greater Philadelphia metropolitan area is not particularly suited for cycling as there are a limited number of bike lanes. Nevertheless, riding is facilitated by the generally flat terrain. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not very common in Palmyra, despite the fact that many day-to-day needs can be carried out without a vehicle.

Services

The closest supermarket in Palmyra is generally only a short pedestrian trip away. Furthermore, a restaurant is often just around the corner, and home buyers benefit from a few cafes as well. When it comes to education, both primary and secondary schools are straightforward to get to as a pedestrian from anywhere in Palmyra. Besides public schools, there are private elementary and high schools.

Character
