Where daily life is a walk: coffee, groceries, parks, schools and downtown within 20 minutes on foot. We measured every neighborhood on our site on real sidewalks, paths and streets, not as the crow flies.
How we measure
For each neighborhood we find the closest grocery store, coffee shop, restaurant, park, school, pharmacy, library and bus stop, then work out the real walking route to each on sidewalks, trails and streets at an easy 3 mph. The rating is how many of those 8 everyday places are within a 20-minute walk, about a mile.
The map data is OpenStreetMap, and the walking routes are worked out by our team. It isn’t Walk Score. We measure from the middle of each neighborhood, so homes at the near or far edge will be a few minutes closer or farther. We don’t rate sidewalk quality or traffic; walk it yourself before you buy.
