While public transportation options are limited compared to more urban areas, this aligns with the preferences of Casarina's residents who typically rely on personal vehicles for their transportation needs. The condominium's covered parking facilities and guest parking areas cater to this car-centric lifestyle, ensuring convenience for both residents and their visitors.
