Most of the roads have designated bicycle lanes and there are separate off-road trails for joint bicycle and pedestrian use. The neighborhood is fairly quite. All of the homes in the Circle are duplexes, where roughly 40% are owner occupied and the balance are occupied by renters. The area attracts young families with children because of low vehicle traffic. It is not uncommon to see families or kids walking or playing in the streets.
