May 25, 200818 yr comment_124357 Enter your address into the walk score site, and it "shows you a map of what's nearby and calculates a Walk Score for any property. Buying a house in a walkable neighborhood is good for your health and good for the environment." My house got a whopping 8. Report
May 25, 200818 yr comment_124360 Got a 58. I like walking around in my neighborhood. It's a bit of a strange thing. I'm four homes off a main road lined by hooker hotels, and well, hookers, but my actual neighborhood is quite nice in a working class sort of way, and very quiet. Nice place to walk about. Report
May 25, 200818 yr comment_124363 My obnoxious neighbor's house got a 43/100. That was much better than I expected as there is a 400' change of elevation between it and all the stores, etc. The walk down is too bad, but the walk up is a killer. Report
May 25, 200818 yr comment_124371 My obnoxious neighbor's house got a 43/100. That was much better than I expected as there is a 400' change of elevation between it and all the stores, etc. The walk down is not too bad, but the walk up is a killer. Fixed an error in the original quote. Also, the roads in the area are narrow and dangerous. If the climb doesn't do you in, the cars might. I try to avoid walking in my area whenever possible. On the other hand, the view isn't too bad. Report
May 25, 200818 yr comment_124381 Pffft, I got a 0. Yep, there's no walking allowed on all that open land. Gotta live on hooker row to get a 58. Report

May 25, 200818 yr comment_124385 71 here. I live on a smallish Island, and you can walk anywhere. Report
May 25, 200818 yr comment_124392 i got an 80/100, but this isn't NYC. several UVA restaurants/bars are 1/4 mile away Report
May 25, 200818 yr comment_124394 51/100 Not bad, most amenities are nearby, it's just work that would require public transportation/car. Fortunately the bus is free here.... what's gas again? Report
May 25, 200818 yr comment_124412 Got 6 over here on my new house. I guess this is what happens when your house abuts town/state forest and is at the end of a very quiet and peaceful cul-de-sac. EDIT - My apartment (which is where I'm still at since I haven't finished moving into the house yet) got 72. I didn't know that there are 7 Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts within 1.8 miles of the place.

May 25, 200818 yr comment_124446 12 for one of my locations.. 77 for the irvine. But alot of the things aren't even listed right. I.e. "my book house" listed as a bookstore..but I think it's a place to eat. Report

That's the plus side of a quiet apartment in NH. It's dead silent almost all day. Perfect for music and studying. Report
