Transportation
Cars are an excellent medium of transportation in this neighbourhood. Most properties for sale are a short car ride from the closest highway, such as Highway 407, and accessing a place to park is generally easy. In contrast, the public transit service in Alton is rather limited. Nevertheless, property owners have access to about 10 bus lines, and the closest bus stop is generally just around the corner. This part of the city is reasonably bike-friendly since the cycling network is good. Alton is not particularly well-suited for those who travel by foot because few daily needs can be met by walking.

As far as education is concerned, families will find that wherever their house is situated in this part of Burlington, both primary and secondary schools are close by. However, there are only a limited number of daycares and accordingly they can be an extended walk away.
Character
