Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are an excellent means of transportation in this postal code. It is a short drive to the nearest highway, such as I-295, from any home in this area, and finding a place to park is quite easy. In contrast, the transit in this area is not very convenient. Nevertheless, residents have access to a few bus lines, and it is especially convenient to find a nearby bus stop from most homes. The bike is a fairly poor means of transportation in this area because there are few bike lanes, and the terrain is not particularly flat. Many of the homes for sale in this postal code are located in places that are also not very well-suited for people who travel as pedestrians because carrying out daily needs is sometimes difficult without a car.

Services

High schools and primary schools are not very numerous in this area, and accordingly not always within a short distance. Regarding eating, property owners in Zip Code 08086 commonly have to use a vehicle to travel to one of around 10 grocery stores. A small number of restaurants and cafes can be found as well.

Character

The character of Zip Code 08086 is exemplified by its slower-paced atmosphere. Access to parks, such as Fort Mifflin and Red Bank Battlefield, is easy from numerous locations in the postal code, since there are approximately 40 of them nearby for residents to visit and getting to a park from the majority of houses is occasionally hard. This area is also reasonably quiet, as the streets tend to be tranquil - although that is not the case close to I-295 or the railway line.
