What if I need help with transportation in the future?
The good news is that Phoenix Commons is in an excellent location for walking to a wide range of services and accessing public transportation. The community has a walk ability rating of 92 which means that many essential amenities, from shopping to entertainment, are within a 15 minute walk from home.
With the exception of a very gradual incline over the Park Street Bridge leading to Alameda proper, the area is flat and easy to negotiate. Public transit is convenient with a bus stop right next door taking you to Bart and other local destinations. In addition, community volunteers and/or the paid maintenance person can provide urgent (non medical transport) when needed.
