Getting around

Port Robinson West - St. John's - Rural is very car friendly. Most properties for sale are a very short drive from the nearest highway, such as Highway 58, and accessing a place to park is quite easy. On the other hand, Port Robinson West - St. John's - Rural is not very transit friendly. Thankfully, there are approximately 20 bus lines crossing the neighbourhood, and bus stops are not very far from most houses. This area is not especially appropriate for biking since there are a fair number of elevation changes for cyclists to brave, and Port Robinson West - St. John's - Rural has rather limited cycling infrastructure. Nonetheless, certain bicycling-friendly pockets exist. Many of the homes for sale in this area are located in places that are also not very suitable for pedestrians since very few daily errands can be run without a car.

In contrast, there are only a very small number of high schools in this part of Thorold and accordingly they can be a very long walk away.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Before you
call it home.

What do the location scores measure?

Local Logic supplies individual access and character scores on a 0–5 scale for the recorded coordinates. Consider each measure separately; we do not calculate an overall livability rating.

Are the distances walking times?

No. Distances are straight-line measurements from the project reference. Open directions to check a walking, cycling, transit or driving route.

Does a nearby school guarantee admission?

No. Confirm attendance boundaries, programs, capacity and registration requirements with the relevant school board.

Do the demographic figures describe future residents?

No. They describe the existing population in the provider’s surrounding study area. They do not predict the buyers or future residents of this project.
