Characteristics

Transportation

Waterbury is especially car friendly. Many properties for sale are a very short drive from the nearest highway, such as I-89, and it is convenient to park. On the other hand, the transit system in this town is not very practical. Nevertheless, homeowners have access to a few bus lines, and it is very easy to reach a nearby bus stop from most homes. Getting around as a pedestrian is not very practical for property owners in this town as running common errands is at times difficult without needing to get in a car. It is also challenging to get around by bike in Waterbury since the bicycling infrastructure is fairly poor, and there is a considerable amount of elevation changes.

Services

Primary schools are straightforward to access without a car from any location in this town. On the other hand, there are only a very small number of high schools and accordingly they can be a very long trip away. In terms of food, a fraction of property owners in Waterbury may be able to access the closest grocery store as pedestrians, while others will have to rely on another means of transportation. There are also a few choices for those who care about close by restaurants.
