Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is an excellent mode of transportation in this postal code. Finding a parking spot is quite easy, and the majority of real estate listings are a rather short car ride from the nearest highway, such as I-91. On the other hand, commuting by transit can be difficult in this area due to the service's low frequency. Nevertheless, residents benefit from a few bus lines, and it is especially convenient to find a nearby bus stop from most properties. This area is not very suitable for people who prefer to travel as pedestrians because few daily errands can be run without the use of a vehicle. This area is also not very appropriate for bicycling since there are a fair number of hills, and Zip Code 06067 has rather poor bicycling infrastructure.
