Characteristics
Transportation
Driving is an excellent transportation option in this area. It is very convenient to park. The bicycle is a rather limited means of transportation in this area as the cycling network is quite poor, and there are a good number of slopes to challenge cyclists. South Windsor is also not very conducive to pedestrians as few common errands can be run without a car.
Services
High schools and primary schools are not numerous in South Windsor, and thus tend to be a very long pedestrian trip away. In addition to public schools, there are private elementary and high schools. In terms of food, in most cases, a vehicle is required to buy groceries in one of about 40 stores. A limited selection of restaurants and cafes can be found as well.
Character
South Windsor offers a calm ambience. South Windsor is quiet overall, as the streets are usually quite peaceful - however noise can be an issue around Wilbur Cross Hwy, I-291, one of the railway lines or the airport (Bancroft). Parks aren't well-located, which makes it occasionally challenging to reach them. Despite that, there are over 150 parks nearby for residents to visit, including Major Michael Donnelly Land Preserve and Town Open Space (Rowland Lane).
