Transportation
The preferred method to navigate this area is often a car. It is very convenient to park. In contrast, Southwood is not very transit friendly. Thankfully, the neighbourhood is connected by a few bus lines, and the closest bus stop is generally very close. Many of the houses for sale in this area are located in places that are not very well-suited for walking as very few common errands can be run on foot. Southwood is also not very appropriate for cycling because there are a limited number of bike lanes, and riding a bicycle is rendered strenuous by the typically steep topography.
Services
It is often feasible for home buyers in this area to purchase groceries on foot. Residents benefit from a few restaurants and cafes as well. In terms of education, parents and their children will find that wherever their property is situated in Southwood, both primary and secondary schools are close by. In contrast, daycares are not particularly plentiful and thus not always within walking distance.
Character
The noise levels in Southwood are very low, as the streets are very peaceful. Green spaces are sometimes hard to reach since they aren't well-situated. Still, there are a few parks nearby for residents to enjoy.
