Characteristics

Transportation

In contrast, this village is not very transit friendly. Nevertheless, there are a few bus lines, and most residences are close to a bus stop. Many of the homes for sale in this village are located in areas that are not very well-suited for people who like to get around as pedestrians as running common errands is sometimes challenging without a vehicle. The bike is a somewhat poor means of transportation in this village because the bicycling network is not very comprehensive, and there are a fair number of elevation changes.
