This part of the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Alpharetta metropolitan area is especially car friendly. It is a reasonably short drive to the closest highway from any location in this city, and it is especially convenient to come across a parking spot. However, Riverdale is not a very pleasant part of the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Alpharetta metropolitan area for getting around by public transit. Thankfully, house owners are served by a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far from most residences. Walking is not very popular in Riverdale, despite the fact that many daily errands can be run on foot.
