Transportation
The best transportation option in Alcan is very often a car. It is especially convenient to park, and many properties for sale are a short car ride from the closest highway, such as Highway 401. On the other hand, the public transit service in Alcan is fairly poor. Nonetheless, there are a few bus lines passing through the neighbourhood, and most homes are very close to a bus stop. Travelling on foot is not very practical for property owners in Alcan as carrying out daily needs is at times challenging by walking.
Services
Daycares and primary schools are easy to walk to from any location in this part of the city. However, it can be difficult to get to high schools as a pedestrian. Regarding food, accessing the nearest grocery store by walking is practical for some, but not all, property owners in this area. Conversely, house buyers won't have to look far to take advantage of the nearest cafe, and a small number of restaurants can be found in Alcan as well.
