Characteristics
Transportation
The best approach to get around in this part of Arcata is usually driving. Most houses for sale are a very short car ride from the nearest highway, and finding a parking spot is quite easy. However, the transit in Valley West is not very accessible. Nonetheless, there are a few bus lines traversing the neighborhood, and it is very easy to reach a nearby bus stop from most homes. The bike is a fairly poor means of transportation in this part of Arcata because there are few bike lanes. Nevertheless, the terrain is rather flat. Many of the homes for sale in this part of Arcata are located in areas that are also not very suitable for pedestrians because meeting daily needs is difficult without a vehicle.
Services
The nearest supermarket in this area is typically only a short pedestrian trip away. There are also a limited number of opportunities for those who value close by restaurants and cafes. With regards to education, locals will appreciate that wherever their house is located in this part of the city, primary schools are nearby. In contrast, high schools are not especially numerous and therefore not always within a short distance. At the elementary level, there are both public and private schools.
Character
The character of Valley West is exemplified by its calm atmosphere. Most areas in Valley West are quiet, as the streets are generally reasonably peaceful.
