Knuckledragger Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 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.

luvdunhill Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 my house got a 45/100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 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.

lostonetr Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. That's the plus side of a quiet apartment in NH. It's dead silent almost all day. Perfect for music and studying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
