Transportation
Cars are a very good means of transportation in Oakes. Parking is generally easy, and the majority of houses for sale are a reasonably short drive from the nearest highway, such as Lincoln M Alexander Parkway. However, the public transit network in this area is not very accessible. Nonetheless, the neighbourhood is connected by a few bus lines, and most houses are very close to a bus stop. Travelling on foot is not very convenient for residents in Oakes as few day-to-day needs can be carried out without the use of a vehicle. Biking is also challenging in Oakes as the cycling infrastructure is rather poor, and bicycle riders are faced with quite a few slopes.
Services
Parents and their schoolchildren will welcome that no matter where their house is situated in Oakes, daycares and primary schools are nearby. On the other hand, this part of Hamilton does not contain any high schools. With respect to eating, home buyers in Oakes often have to use a car to access the closest supermarket. Nonetheless, pharmacies are typically convenient to get to on foot and sell some basic food items. A limited variety of restaurants and coffee shops is available as well.
Character
