How walkable is your place?

July 26th, 2007

One of my favorite things about living in NYC is that so much is accessible without the need to get in a car. Walk Score is a free web tool that calculates the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc. on google maps.My place scores 94 out of 100, how about yours?

If you’re looking for a new place to live, walkability is something to consider. Here’s more information on walkability and a list of walkable communities in the US.
