Before we get into talking about SugarCreek Village, let's define the metrics we will be using.

Walk Score:

Walk Score assesses how easy it is to walk to various places from a specific address. It examines numerous walking routes to nearby amenities for each address. Points are given based on the distance to different types of amenities. Maximum points are awarded to amenities located within a 5-minute walk.

Transit Score:

The Transit Score represents the accessibility of a location by public transit. It utilizes data provided by public transit agencies in a standardized format.

To calculate a Transit Score, we evaluate nearby transit routes. We consider their frequency and type, such as rail or bus. We also look at the distance to the nearest stop. The combined "usefulness" of all nearby routes is then normalized to produce a score ranging from 0 to 100.

Bike Score: 

The Bike Score assesses the suitability of an area for biking. It is determined for a specific location by evaluating the biking infrastructure (such as lanes and trails), terrain, nearby places of interest, how well roads are connected, and the volume of bike commuters.

SugarCreek Village is nestled in the heart of the desirable SugarCreek neighbourhood in West London. Situated just moments from the Thames River off of Proudfoot Lane, the nearest major intersections are Oxford & Wonderland and Riverside & Wonderland.

With this in mind, Walkscore.com has rated SugarCreek Village a solid 63/100 in terms of walking score, 56 in the bike score category, and 53 in the transit score. Let’s take a look at some of the nearby amenities, shall we?
