Walk Score: Find Out How Walkable Your Community Is

Walking is great. So great in fact that the Gnome threw away his toboggan and decided he’s not going anywhere anymore unless he can walk there. If you are walking you are living green and staying fit at the same time! No better combination.

But. Finding the right home can be a challenge. Add walkability into the home search quest and you’ve got just one more thing you’ve got to consider. Good thing for this Internet huh?

The good folks at Walk Score put together a tool to help you find the most walkable communities and you can zero in right on specific houses and get a grade for its walkability (how close to amenities), transit and bikeability. It even has a map that pinpoints exactly how far you are from all those important things you need every day like your daily triple espresso. So go on now, take this tool for a spin…
