The majority of real estate listings are a very short drive from the closest highway, such as I-5, and it is very easy to access a place to park. However, public transit riders may find few choices in this area by reason of the infrequent service. Thankfully, the postal code is connected by a few bus lines, and it is very easy to get to a nearby bus stop from most properties. It is at times challenging for pedestrians to get around in Zip Code 98430 as very few daily needs can be carried out without the use of a car, and a variety of businesses are reasonably close at hand. Zip Code 98430 is also not very conducive to biking because there are few bike lanes, and there are a fair number of hills for cyclists to brave.
