Is Your Property a Walkable Place to Live?

A fabulous new website, www.walkscore.com measures the walkability of any address!  Walkable neighborhoods offer surprising benefits to the environment, our health, our finances, and our community.  Walk Score is a number between 0 and 100 that measures the walkability of any address.  A full explanation of how the  score is determined can be found on the site.  It is fun and interesting!  My (Barb) Walk Score for example is a 12.  Although I live in a very amenitiy rich community, my location within that community is at an isolated corner significantly reducing my walkability score.  So we make good use of our bikes in the summer and in the winter…well….car dependant for sure!
