Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are a great transportation option in Tyrone. It is a short drive to the nearest highway, such as I-99, from anywhere in Tyrone, and it is very convenient to access a place to park. It is sometimes difficult for pedestrians to get around in this part of the Altoona metropolitan area as few daily needs can be met without a car. This borough is also not very bicycling-friendly since bike riders encounter quite a few slopes, and the cycling network is not very extensive.

Services

Primary schools are straightforward to get to as a pedestrian from any location in Tyrone. However, high schools are not very abundant and therefore not always within a short distance. Locals benefit from public and private elementary schools. With respect to food, house buyers in this part of the Altoona metropolitan area will welcome that a grocery store is always only a short trip away. There are also a few choices for those who care about nearby restaurants and cafes.

Character

The character of Tyrone is exemplified by its slower-paced ambience. Tyrone is good for those who prefer quiet surroundings, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor - although that is not the case close to one of the railway lines or I-99.
