Characteristics

Transportation

The best method to move around in this area is very often driving. It is a rather short car ride to the closest highway, such as N Freeway, from anywhere in this area, and it is very easy to park. However, this postal code is not very transit friendly. Nonetheless, there are a few bus lines passing through the postal code, and most residences are very close to a bus stop. This area is not especially bicycling-friendly since there are a good number of slopes for cyclists to brave, and the cycling infrastructure is not very extensive. A majority of the homes for sale in this postal code are located in places that are also not especially well-suited for pedestrians because few common errands can be run without a vehicle.

Services

In this postal code, property owners will typically be able to access primary schools as pedestrians. In contrast, high schools are not very abundant and thus tend to require a rather long pedestrian trip to get to. House buyers can choose between public and private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level. With regards to eating, it is easy to reach the nearest supermarket as a pedestrian in Zip Code 08012. Furthermore, a restaurant is commonly just around the corner, and a limited variety of coffee shops is available as well.
