Transportation

Cars are a great transportation option in this village. It is very convenient to access a place to park, and many homes for sale are a reasonably short drive from the nearest highway, such as Highway 11. The bike is a rather limited mode of transportation in South River as the cycling network is not very well-developed, and the terrain is not especially flat. Many of the houses for sale in this village are located in places that are also not very convenient for people who travel as pedestrians because very few common errands can be run without a car.
