Characteristics

Transportation

A majority of the houses for sale in this postal code are located in places that are fairly conducive to those who prefer to get around as pedestrians; many common errands can be run without the use of a car. However, the bike is a somewhat poor method of transportation in this postal code as the bicycling infrastructure is fairly poor, and the terrain is not very flat. The preferred transportation option in Zip Code 02184 is usually driving. It is very easy to find a parking spot. In contrast, residents using public transit may experience limited choices in this postal code due to the low service level. Nevertheless, house owners profit from the Holbrook/Randolph, Weymouth Landing/East Braintree and Braintree with access to the Greenbush Line, CapeFLYER, Middleborough/Lakeville Line and Kingston Line. There is Quincy Adams and Braintree on the Red Line. Homeowners have access to about 10 bus lines, and the nearest bus stop is typically around the corner.

Character

Zip Code 02184 is a "jack-of-all-trades" when it comes to the feel of this area. Zip Code 02184 is reasonably quiet overall, as noise from streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue, although that is not the case around Yankee Division Hwy, State Rte 1 Alt or one of the railway lines. On the other hand, green spaces, like Town Brook Flood Control and Blue Hills Reservation, are very well-distributed and there are over 100 of them close by for residents to enjoy, which results in them being very easy to reach from most locations in this area. Finally, even though this postal code is not known for its lively ambience, with its approximately 20 nightlife venues, it is rather difficult to find a place to grab a drink because they are generally located relatively far away.
