Characteristics
Transportation
This postal code is very car friendly. Parking is generally easy. Commuting by bicycle is challenging in this postal code as the cycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive. Nonetheless, there are a limited number of hills for cyclists to brave. A majority of the homes for sale in this area are located in places that are also not very suitable for pedestrians because almost no common errands can be run without needing to use a car.
Services
In all cases, a vehicle is required to purchase groceries. With respect to education, high schools and primary schools are not particularly plentiful in this area, and accordingly not always within a short distance. At the secondary level, there are both public and private schools.
