Characteristics

Transportation

This township is very car friendly. Coming across a parking spot is generally easy. Amherst is not very amenable to bicycling since there are a good number of slopes for cyclists to brave, and the cycling network is not very extensive. A majority of the houses for sale in this township are located in areas that are also not very well-suited for those who prefer to travel by walking as running common errands is nearly impossible without a car.

Services

Amherst does not contain any high schools or primary schools. Furthermore, parents may consider it very hard for their kids to get to daycares by foot. With respect to eating, a vehicle is almost always required in this township to access the closest supermarket.
