    "I use the Highway which is close to my neighborhood. Outside of that, the county bus system is the only public transit. The commute traffic is bad. Aptos is bikeable around the highway but there are many tight roads and can be hilly. "

    "Yes. People are always walking their dogs around town. Dog owners obey leash laws for the most part and pick up after their animals. There are lots of beaches, parks and trails for dogs to explore. "

    "The area is beautiful and prolific for plants. Neighbors are friendly, there’s easy access to Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur. Nearby development has been blossoming with new businesses opening. Quick access to the beach and close proximity to Niscene Marks make this the perfect combo of ocean meets forest. "

    "I have lived in this neighborhood 15 years and it’s been great. The large pine trees that still remain in Rio Del Mar are because of Mr Spreckels and that this land was his private hunting ground. He preserved the land as best as he could for future generations."
