Because Varsity View sits close to the river and to downtown, most trips into the core or across to the east side stay well under the longer drives a buyer would face from a suburb further out on the city's edge.
Traffic on the bridges connecting the west and east sides is the main variable in any Varsity View commute, more than distance itself, since the river channels most cross-city trips onto a handful of crossings.
