Characteristics

Transportation

Putney is very car friendly. It is very convenient to park, and nearby highways are rather easy to reach from any location in this community. However, commuting by public transit is challenging in Putney. Thankfully, homeowners are served by a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most homes. Most homes for sale in this community are located in areas that are not very convenient for pedestrians since very few daily errands can be run without the use of a car. Putney is also not very suited for cycling as the bicycling infrastructure is quite bad, and riding is rendered difficult by the typically hilly topography.

In terms of food, home buyers in Putney will appreciate that a grocery store is always only a rather short trip away. There are also a few choices for those who value restaurants in close proximity.
