Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is a very good transportation option in Sun Valley. Parking is easy. In contrast, the public transit access in Sun Valley is rather poor. Thankfully, residents are served by a few bus lines, and it is very easy to reach a nearby bus stop from most houses. Sun Valley is not especially appropriate for bicycling as cyclists are faced with a considerable amount of hills, and the bicycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive. A majority of the homes for sale in this part of the Reno metropolitan area are located in places that are also not very convenient for pedestrians since running daily errands is impractical without a vehicle.

Services

It is often an option for house buyers in Sun Valley to do their groceries as pedestrians. A small number of restaurants and cafes are available as well. With respect to education, locals will appreciate that wherever their house is situated in Sun Valley, primary schools are nearby. In contrast, it can be very difficult to reach high schools as a pedestrian.

Character
