Transportation
The car is very often the favoured approach to get around in Vars. It is very convenient to come across a place to park. In contrast, the public transit service in Vars is quite poor. Nevertheless, the neighbourhood is linked by a few bus lines. It is very impractical for people walking to navigate this area since running common errands is very challenging on foot. Vars is also not very bicycling-friendly because the cycling infrastructure is not very well-developed, and there are a good number of hills.
Services
Primary schools are often a very long walk away, and there are no high schools in this part of the city. Moreover, families may consider it very difficult for their children to access daycares on foot. As far as food is concerned, purchasing one's groceries very often necessitates the use of a car in Vars.
Character
Most areas in Vars are quiet, as the streets tend to be calm - however noise can be problematic closer to Highway 417 or the railway line. Parks are distributed sporadically, which makes it rather difficult to reach them. Despite that, there are a few green spaces nearby for residents to relax in.
