Characteristics

Transportation

Ross is particularly car friendly. It is especially convenient to access a place to park, and it is a rather short drive to the nearest highway from any home in Ross. It is impractical for pedestrians to navigate this community since very few day-to-day errands can be run without a vehicle. Although there are a limited number of hills for cyclists to brave, Ross is also not very bike-friendly because the bicycling network is rather poor.

Services

Locals will appreciate the proximity to primary schools, which are within a short distance from most homes for sale in Ross. On the other hand, it can be very difficult to reach high schools as a pedestrian. With respect to food, in all but a limited number of cases, a car is needed to buy groceries. Residents of Ross can enjoy a few restaurants as well.

Character

Home buyers who prefer a slower-paced atmosphere will enjoy Ross. This community is very quiet overall, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor. Finally, there are a few green spaces nearby for residents to discover, including Fernald Preserve, and they are very well-located, which makes it easy to access them.
