Queensborough-Brentwood-Crystal Springs is a car-dependent neighborhood with a Walk Score of 23. Sidewalks line main thoroughfares but fade into cul-de-sacs.

Canyon Park shopping center is a short drive north for daily errands. The neighborhood trades urban walkability for quiet residential streets, mature trees, and larger lots.
