Characteristics

Transportation

The best means of transportation in Zip Code 08554 is very often a car. It is especially convenient to park, and the majority of real estate listings are a rather short car ride from the nearest highway. In contrast, traveling by transit can be challenging in this area as a result of the service's low frequency. Thankfully, rapid transit stations, such as Roebling Light Rail Station and Florence Light Rail Station on the Riverline Light Rail, are not very far from the bulk of homes in the postal code. There are a few bus lines, and most properties are very close to a bus stop. Most homes for sale in this postal code are located in places that are not very well-suited for people who like to travel as pedestrians since running common errands is impractical without a car. Cycling is also sometimes difficult in this area as there are a good number of elevation changes to challenge cyclists, and there are few bike lanes.

House buyers in Zip Code 08554 will appreciate that a grocery store is always only a rather short pedestrian trip away. A small selection of restaurants is available in this area as well. With regards to education, locals will find that no matter where their house is situated in Zip Code 08554, primary schools are nearby. However, high schools are not abundant and therefore tend to require a very long trip to get to.
