Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are an excellent transportation option in this area. It is very easy to access a parking spot. It is impractical for pedestrians to move around in Sunset Road as very few daily needs can be carried out without a car. This area is also not very appropriate for cycling as cyclists are faced with a significant amount of hills, and the bicycling network is quite bad.

In terms of eating, buying one's groceries often requires the use of a vehicle in Sunset Road. Residents benefit from around 10 restaurants and coffee shops as well.

Character
