Overall, it had a low walk score of 48 and is deemed a "Car Dependent" neighborhood.
There are a lot of parks and green space around, but one definitely needs a car to access any major grocery or retail stores. The only two nearby stores are a "Food & Liquor" and "JJ Food store" which is typical for working class neighborhoods. However, there is a Park District/City run farmer's market at Ashburn park (although it is seasonal). The nearest library is 1 1/4 miles away. There are no CTA Rail lines for miles, so it is not easily accessible from other parts of the city (this is typical for the south side). Within driving distance there are some large stores (Wal-Mart, Jewel-Osco, and Ford City Mall). There didn't appear to be any churches nearby, or community centers, but there are a couple private/catholic schools.
