Transportation
Driving is a very good mode of transportation in Southlands. Parking is easy. In contrast, the public transit network in this neighbourhood is not especially convenient. Nonetheless, there are a few bus lines traversing the neighbourhood, and it is straightforward to get to a nearby bus stop from most homes. Commuting by bicycle is at times difficult in this area since bicycling is made strenuous by the typically hilly terrain, and there are a limited number of bike lanes. This part of Vancouver is also not particularly well-suited for those who travel by foot because few common errands can be run without the use of a vehicle.
Services
In all but a limited number of cases, a car is needed to buy groceries. Regarding education, it is a reasonably short walk to get to daycares and primary schools from anywhere in this neighbourhood. In contrast, Southlands does not contain any high schools.
Character
The character of Southlands is exemplified by its relaxed ambience. It is very easy to reach parks in the neighbourhood, since the majority of homes for sale have one around the corner and there are a few green spaces close by for residents to enjoy. This part of Vancouver is also very quiet, as there tend to be low levels of noise from traffic.
