Highway 151 and John Nolan Drive pass within a few blocks, which keeps the commute simple from the State-Langdon neighbourhood, the Mansion Hill Historic District, Tenney-Lapham, Regent, Sunset Hills, Wingra Park, Vilas, Greenbush and the Brittingham Bay area. For anyone cycling in, the secure lockable bike racks make the daily ride into downtown easy.
