Transportation

This community will appeal to home buyers who appreciate living in a compact area as it is rather pedestrian-friendly; many day-to-day errands can be run without a vehicle, and there are also a fair number of businesses close by. However, cycling is difficult in Valley View since there is a considerable amount of elevation changes, and the bicycling network is sometimes poor. Getting around by transit can be difficult in Valley View by reason of the infrequent service. Nonetheless, the community is linked by a few bus lines, and bus stops are ordinarily around the corner. On the other hand, traveling by car is very easy in Valley View. The majority of houses for sale are a rather short drive from the nearest highway, and it is especially convenient to access a place to park.

Character
