It has two zones joined by an underground passage of road traffic, being separated by the Llíria railway with its own station that connects to Valencia every thirty minutes. It also has a bus line. Also, the Estate is connected to the city of Paterna through a pedestrian promenade.

Fuente del Jarro is located within the municipality of Paterna, City of Business, 10 km. northwest of Valencia, connected mainly by a highway. It also has a connection to the capital by the Paterna-Lliria road. It has direct entry and exit to the bypass (A-7) that surrounds it, which facilitates communication with Madrid, Alicante, the airport, the port and Feria Valencia.
