Is your neighborhood “Walkable”?

By:


walkscore.com screenshot no1Home buyers search for their next house based on a number of criteria. How close is it to the local school? How about the parks in the area? What do the other houses look like?
And in today's green-conscious world, are their any stores and shops within walking distance?
Which is what brings me to the site, Walk Score.
The idea is quite simple: You type in an address, the city, state or zip and you get a list of "walkable" places around your neighborhood.
According to the site, "Walk Score helps people find walkable places to live. Walk Score calculates the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc."
More was written up on this site at the blog, The Future of Real Estate Marketing.
