Transportation
Owing to a few nearby bus lines, the public transit system in this part of Pickering is quite practical. However, bicycling is challenging in Village East because there are a good number of slopes, and there are very few bike lanes. There aren't many pedestrians out on the streets of this neighbourhood, although running day-to-day errands is convenient by walking. On the other hand, Village East is an extremely good part of Pickering for travelling by car. It is straightforward to access a place to park, and many real estate listings are a short drive from the closest highway, such as Highway 401.
