Characteristics

Transportation

Many of the homes for sale in this postal code are located in areas that are reasonably conducive to people who prefer to get around as pedestrians; many common errands can be run without a vehicle. However, Zip Code 07001 is not very conducive to cycling because the bicycling infrastructure is not very well-developed, and there are a good number of hills to challenge cyclists. The transit in Zip Code 07001 is not particularly practical. Nevertheless, train stations, including the Rahway and Avenel on the North Jersey Coast Line and Northeast Corridor, are commonly a short distance away from the majority of residences in the postal code. House owners are served by a few bus lines, and most properties are close to a bus stop. However, Zip Code 07001 is a very convenient area for moving around by car. It is convenient to park, and many homes for sale are a short car ride from the closest highway, such as New Jersey Tpke.

Services

A supermarket is usually reachable within a rather short distance from most houses for sale in this area. Furthermore, a restaurant is usually just around the corner, for example on Saint Georges Avenue, and house buyers are served by about 10 cafes as well. Concerning education, it is a rather short pedestrian trip to reach primary schools from any location in this postal code. In contrast, high schools are not very abundant and thus not always within a short distance. Locals benefit from public and private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level.
