Belmont & Greenview is an eight-minute walk northwest and serviced by Route 77. Both Route 9 and X9 service the Ashland & Belmont/Lincoln stop, a 10-minute walk northwest.

Access to the CTA L can be found for the Brown and Purple Lines at Wellington station, a 12-minute walk east. Additional access for those two lines as well as the Red Line can be found to the north at Belmont station, a 17-minute walk northeast.
