Because of many things, Janesville is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Janesville really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Janesville perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic night life, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

Janesville is a very car-oriented town. 99.77% of residents commute to work in a private automobile rather than by other means, such as public transit, bicycling, or walking. This is because Janesville is a small town, and most people who live here have to drive out of town for work, and the town population is not large nor dense enough to support an extensive public transportation system. Janesville has a lot of rural roads, and houses can be far apart. Many residents drive out of town for regular shopping trips as well.

As is often the case in a small town, Janesville doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
