Getting around
People who want to live in a compact area will be pleased with the fairly pedestrian-friendly character of Elgin; many daily errands can be run without a vehicle. This part of Niagara Falls is also moderately amenable to bicycling. Elgin is car friendly. Nearby highways, such as Queen Elizabeth Way, are reasonably easy to drive to from any home in Elgin, and it is convenient to park. However, Elgin is not particularly transit friendly. Nevertheless, house owners are served by the Niagara Falls on the Lakeshore West. Residents benefit from about 30 bus lines, and most homes are very close to a bus stop.
