Nonetheless, the neighborhood is connected by a few bus lines, and bus stops are ordinarily around the corner. Cycling is at times difficult in Prince William Estates as there are a fair number of slopes to challenge cyclists, and the bicycling infrastructure is not very well-developed. Most homes for sale in this area are located in places that are also not especially suitable for those who travel as pedestrians because few daily errands can be run without the need to get in a vehicle.
