Transportation

Cars are a great medium of transportation in this township. It is very convenient to access a place to park. It is challenging to commute by bike in this township as there are a fair number of slopes, and the bicycling infrastructure is not very well-developed. It is also very impractical for pedestrians to move around in this township because most daily needs are very inconvenient to meet without the use of a vehicle.

Housing

The predominance of single detached homes in the housing stock of Howick is an important part of its character. About half of properties in this township were built prior to the 1960s, while most of the remaining buildings were built in the 1960s and the 1980s. This township is primarily composed of four or more bedroom and three bedroom homes. Homeowners occupy roughly 85% of the units in the township while the rest are rented.

Services

In all but a very small number of cases, a car is required in Howick to reach the closest grocery store. As far as education is concerned, this township does not have any primary schools. Furthermore, daycares are not numerous and accordingly not always within walking distance.
