Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is a very good medium of transportation in this area. It is a rather short car ride to the closest highway, such as Delaware Tpke, from any location in this area, and it is especially convenient to park. However, Zip Code 19713 is not very transit friendly. Thankfully, homeowners can rely on the Churchman's Crossing and Newark with access to the Wilmington/Newark Line and Wilmington / Newark Line. The postal code is linked by approximately 10 bus lines, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most residences. It is at times challenging for pedestrians to move around in Zip Code 19713 because few daily needs can be carried out without a vehicle. Bicycling is also occasionally difficult in this area because the terrain is not especially flat, and the bicycling infrastructure is fairly poor.

Services

In all but a limited number of cases, a vehicle is needed in this area to access one of approximately 40 grocery stores. Nonetheless, getting to the nearest pharmacy and thus some basic food items is typically convenient. This postal code is a good place in which to go out to eat, and a small variety of cafes can be found as well. In terms of education, locals will welcome that wherever their home is located in this area, primary schools are nearby. On the other hand, it can be difficult to reach high schools without a vehicle. Besides public schools, there are private elementary and high schools.

Character

The character of Zip Code 19713 is exemplified by its slower-paced environment. Green spaces, such as Powell Ford and Norma B. Handloff Park, are very well-distributed and there are over 50 of them close by for residents to visit, making them very easy to get to. This area is also especially quiet, as noise from the streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue.
