Commuting by car is very convenient in this area. Most real estate listings are a rather short car ride from the closest highway, and it is easy to park. However, public transit users may experience few options in this part of Ajax due to the low service level. Thankfully, homeowners have access to a few bus lines, and the nearest bus stop is generally very close. Walking is not particularly feasible for property owners in Southwood since few daily errands can be run without the use of a vehicle. The bike is a somewhat poor means of transportation in this neighbourhood as there are few bike lanes, and there are a fair number of elevation changes.

House buyers in Southwood will be pleased to learn that a grocery store is always only a reasonably short walk away. There are also a few restaurants in this neighbourhood. Regarding education, in this part of Ajax, parents and their children will usually be able to get to primary schools and daycares by walking. However, there are no high schools in Southwood.
