St Andrews Hills Real Estate & Houses for Sale
The character of St Andrews Hills is exemplified by its slower-paced ambience. A large number of locations within the neighbourhood have fairly good access to public green spaces, including Victoria Park, since there are around 20 of them close by for residents to relax in. This area is also very quiet, as noise from streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue.
Transportation
Driving is a good means of transportation in St Andrews Hills. It is easy to find a parking spot. In contrast, public transit users may experience limited choices in St Andrews Hills as a result of the low service level. Thankfully, there are around 10 bus lines passing through the neighbourhood, and it is very easy to find a nearby bus stop from most houses. The bicycle is a somewhat poor means of transportation in this part of the city as there are few bike lanes, and there is a considerable amount of elevation changes. Many of the houses for sale in this neighbourhood are located in areas that are also not especially well-suited for people who get around on foot because meeting day-to-day needs is at times challenging without the use of a vehicle.
Housing
Single detached homes are the predominant housing type, representing about 70% of dwellings in St Andrews Hills, and the rest of the houses are mainly small apartment buildings. Around 40% of properties in this neighbourhood were built pre-1960, while many of the remaining buildings were built in the 1960s and the 1980s. This part of Cambridge offers mainly four or more bedroom and three bedroom homes. About three quarters of the population of this neighbourhood own their home while renters make up the remainder.
Services
Families will appreciate that no matter where their home is situated in this part of the city, primary schools and daycares are nearby. On the other hand, it can be difficult to access high schools by foot. In terms of food, it is convenient to reach the closest supermarket as a pedestrian in St Andrews Hills. A small number of restaurants and coffee shops can be found as well.
