Characteristics

Transportation

The car is very often the favored method to get around in this area. However, this postal code is not very transit friendly. Thankfully, house owners have access to a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far away from most homes. Despite the fact that cyclists do not face serious hills, biking is difficult in this area because there are few bike lanes. It is also occasionally difficult for pedestrians to move around in Zip Code 96766 because carrying out daily needs is sometimes challenging without a car.

Services

Locals will value the proximity to primary schools, which are within a short distance from most homes for sale in this area. However, high schools are not plentiful and therefore tend to require a very long pedestrian trip to get to. Locals are served by public and private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level. When it comes to eating, a vehicle is almost always needed in this postal code to reach one of approximately 20 grocery stores. Nonetheless, pharmacies are typically easy to reach as a pedestrian and sell some staple foods.
