Thankfully, property owners have access to a few bus lines, and bus stops are ordinarily around the corner. This neighbourhood is not very amenable to biking because the cycling infrastructure is quite bad, and there are a fair number of hills. Getting around on foot is also not very feasible for property owners in this part of the city because almost no day-to-day errands can be run without needing a vehicle.
