May 25, 200818 yr 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.
May 25, 200818 yr 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.
May 25, 200818 yr 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.

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.
May 25, 200818 yr 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.

May 25, 200818 yr i got an 80/100, but this isn't NYC. several UVA restaurants/bars are 1/4 mile away
May 25, 200818 yr 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?
May 25, 200818 yr 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 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.
