Transportation
Cars are a great medium of transportation in this area. Finding a parking spot is generally easy. In contrast, getting around by transit can be challenging in Westfort by reason of the infrequent service. Nevertheless, there are a few bus lines passing through the neighbourhood, and bus stops are not very far from most houses. Westfort is not very well-suited for those who travel by foot since carrying out daily needs is challenging by walking.
Services
There are only a limited number of high schools and primary schools in Westfort and therefore they can be an extended walk away. Likewise, daycares are not numerous and thus not always within walking distance. Families benefit from public and private schools at both the primary and secondary school level. In terms of eating, a fraction of property owners in Westfort may have the option to purchase groceries on foot, while others will have to turn to another means of transportation. A limited variety of restaurants and coffee shops is available as well.
Character
Westfort is good for those who prefer a quiet atmosphere, as there are low levels of noise from traffic - although that is not the case close to one of the railway lines.
