Walk Score

ave you guys heard of Walk Score? I hadn’t until about two hours ago so don’t feel out of the loop if you don’t know what I am talking about. I noticed that a few apartment listings were writing “walk score=95!” or whatever and I was left dumbfounded until one listing had a link to the walk score website. IT IS SO COOL! What you do is type in your address and it gives you a score for how walkable things are to that place. The more things around, the higher the score. Cool, huh? I have been using it to check the walkability of ever apartment listing that I am interested in. The site is especially helpful for me since I am not very familiar with the area and this gives a quick visual of all the stores and other conveniences (such as restaurants, libraries, and gyms) that are easily in walking distance.

Ah, thank you Mr. or Mrs. Genius who came up with this site, and for all of you who want to know how walkable your place of residence is head on over and type in your address.
