Characteristics

Transportation

The preferred method to move around in this area is usually driving. It is easy to access a parking spot, and most homes for sale are a short drive from the nearest highway, such as New York Streetate Throughway. However, traveling by transit can be difficult in Zip Code 12414 due to the infrequent service. Nonetheless, there are a few bus lines crossing the postal code, and most properties are very close to a bus stop. Most houses for sale in this area are located in places that are not very suitable for pedestrians because few day-to-day errands can be run without needing a vehicle. This postal code is also not very bicycling-friendly as cyclists are faced with quite a few elevation changes, and there are few bike lanes.
