Characteristics

Transportation

Commuting by car is very convenient in Suffolk. Accessing a parking spot is quite easy. Despite the fact that there are a limited number of slopes, bicycling is challenging in Suffolk because there are few bike lanes. This city is also not very conducive to pedestrians as few common errands can be run without the need for a car.

Services

High schools and primary schools are not plentiful in this city, and thus may require a very long distance to get to. In addition to public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools. As far as eating is concerned, home buyers in this part of the Hampton Roads metropolitan area almost always have to rely on a car to do their grocery shopping in one of approximately 40 stores.

Character

People who prefer a slower-paced environment will enjoy Suffolk. Most areas in Suffolk are very quiet, as the streets tend to be very tranquil. Parks are sparse, which results in them being rather challenging to get to from the majority of locations in this part of the Hampton Roads metropolitan area. Still, there are over 100 green spaces nearby for residents to enjoy, such as Western Branch Trail and Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge.
