Q: Will I need a car? 

A: No, but if you have one it would come in handy. Amtrak has a station within walking distance of the studios and apartments. And the 77 facility is walkable to downtown where you can get most necessities. However, public transportation in the area is limited. If you intend to make frequent use of The Mint then a car is desirable since it is not within walking distance.
