Characteristics

Transportation

Zip Code 02189 is car friendly. It is very easy to park. On the other hand, Zip Code 02189 is not very transit friendly. Thankfully, residents can rely on the East Weymouth and West Hingham on the Greenbush Line. The postal code is connected by a few bus lines, and bus stops are ordinarily around the corner. Getting around as a pedestrian is not very common in this area, although many daily errands can be run without a car. On the other hand, Zip Code 02189 is reasonably appropriate for cycling.

Services

It is a rather short trip to reach primary schools from anywhere in this area. On the other hand, high schools are not particularly abundant and therefore may require a rather long distance to get to. Besides public schools, there are private elementary and high schools. With respect to eating, a car is often required in this postal code to access one of about 10 grocery stores. Nevertheless, it is generally a reasonably short distance to the closest pharmacy, which can supply some basic food items. A restaurant is often just around the corner, and a small variety of coffee shops is available as well.

Character

Zip Code 02189 offers a relaxed atmosphere and will appeal to home buyers who enjoy spending time outdoors. This area is good for those who prefer quiet surroundings, as the streets tend to be quite peaceful - although there are still several louder sections, especially near the railway line. Lastly, parks, including Weymouth Back River Access and Stodders Neck, are very well-spread out and there are over 50 of them nearby for residents to unwind in, which makes them easy to get to.
