Characteristics

Transportation

This area is very car friendly. Accessing a place to park is generally easy. Traveling as a pedestrian is not very practical for house buyers in this area because carrying out daily needs is very inconvenient without a vehicle. It is also very hard to commute by bike in this postal code as cyclists are faced with a considerable amount of slopes, and the bicycling network is not very extensive.

Services

High schools and primary schools are not abundant in this area, and thus not always within a short distance. In terms of eating, in all but a very small number of cases, a car is required to do groceries. A limited number of restaurants can be found in Zip Code 27016 as well.
