Nevertheless, there are a few bus lines traversing the neighbourhood, and bus stops are not very far away from most residences. In contrast, driving is usually the favoured approach to navigate this area. It is a rather short car ride to the closest highway from any home in Highlands, and coming across a place to park is generally easy.
