Characteristics

Transportation

Many of the homes for sale in this postal code are located in areas that are moderately suitable for pedestrians; running daily errands is easy without the use of a car, and a good number of businesses of different types can be found as well. In contrast, this postal code is not particularly bike-friendly since riding is rendered strenuous by the often steep topography, and there are a limited number of bike lanes. The car is very often the best approach to get around in this area. Many homes for sale are a reasonably short drive from the nearest highway, such as Governor John Davis Lodge Tpke, and coming across a parking spot is easy. In contrast, public transit riders may experience limited options in this postal code due to the infrequent service. Thankfully, house owners profit from the Fairfield Metro on the New Haven. There are a few bus lines crossing the postal code, and most houses are very close to a bus stop.
