Characteristics

Transportation

Troy is an extremely convenient city for getting around by car. Nearby highways are reasonably easy to reach from any location in this city, and coming across a place to park is generally easy. Troy is not very appropriate for biking because cyclists are faced with a considerable amount of elevation changes, and the bicycling infrastructure is rather limited. Troy is also not very suitable for people who travel as pedestrians since running daily errands is occasionally challenging without a vehicle.

Services

In the majority of cases, a vehicle is needed in Troy to reach one of approximately 10 supermarkets. Nevertheless, pharmacies are typically convenient to reach as a pedestrian and sell some basic food items. A limited selection of restaurants and coffee shops can be found as well. With respect to education, it is a reasonably short trip to reach both primary and secondary schools from anywhere in this city. Locals are served by public and private schools at both the elementary and high school level.

Character

The character of Troy is exemplified by its slower-paced ambience. Troy is reasonably quiet, as the streets are usually peaceful - however some parts can be quite noisy, especially close to one of the 2 airports (Troy Muni,Smart Road) or one of the railway lines.
