Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is an excellent medium of transportation in Scott Road. It is very convenient to find a parking spot, and nearby highways, such as Yankee Expy, are very easy to drive to from any location in Scott Road. In contrast, residents using public transit may experience few choices in this part of the city by reason of the low service level. Thankfully, there are a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far away from most houses. It is at times difficult for pedestrians to move around in this area as few common errands can be run without a car. Traveling by bicycle is also challenging in this part of Waterbury because there are very few bike lanes, and bicycle riders are faced with a considerable amount of slopes.

Services

It can be very hard to access high schools and primary schools without a vehicle from houses for sale in this part of the city. As far as food is concerned, the closest supermarket in this part of Waterbury is generally only a rather short pedestrian trip away. Likewise, a restaurant is often just around the corner, and a limited number of coffee shops is available as well. It is also a rather short trip to a decent choice of clothing stores.

Character
