NDR: What's your walkability score?

kaitylin

I'm a 91. Love our neighborhood. We are in escrow selling our place now to get a bigger place and moving to a neighborhood with a walk score of 63. I'm going to miss our current neighborhood but it will be nice to have a bigger place.

Currently we can walk to 2 movie theaters, Barnes and Noble, numerous grocery stores, tons of restaurants and shops, etc... I'm sad to leave :-(

49. Sounds about right. We live in a wonderful neighborhood, but we're a county island in the middle of the city that has no sidewalks.

71- very walkable, which is good since we only have one car and my DH and I both ride the bus to work.

58, which is actually quite good for this area.  Our new house will be a 3, and the "shopping" it advertises nearby is a clock repair shop, plus the "groceries" is the residence of a Tastefully Simple consultant.

35.  I'm actually surprised it's so low since we live in suburbia and there is a bunch of stuff around however it's not really a walking area.

We're a 71 in our current house, an 86 at our last house (3/4 mile away). We're in an urban neighborhood and a block away from a restaurant, local market, two coffee shops, ice cream shop, and movie rental store. We're an easy walk to our neighborhood "downtown" with the movie theater, shops, farmers market and tons of restaurants and bars. Walkability is VERY important to us.

Wow- we are a Zero! I've never really thought of that because we are what I consider to be "close" to everything. But it's true- nothing within any reasonable walkin distance.

See we're the same too, but got a zero. Weird.

100.

Before I moved to the city it was 57.

Only 95 over here! 

My parents' house is a 3.  Which sounds high to me.  There's a small strip mall about a mile away, uphill both ways.  And a farm stand a half a mile away, also uphill both ways.  That's about it.

78. Our house is three blocks from a historic downtown district with restaurants, cute shops and parks. I also live 1.5 blocks from a middle school, and 4blocks from an elementary school. I feel very safe in my city and would walk *almost* anywhere in it.

88. I'm surprised it's not higher. I really have everything within a few blocks of me. I rarely drive a car.

Okay, I did a score for my specific location and it's now a 94.  That's more appropriate.

38.  It says that most residents in my area are at a 55.  I agree with my score; we're on the outskirts of our town to be closer to the interstate that I take on my hour drive to work.  You can walk to downtown, but that's mostly unique shops and restaurants (which I love), but the real center of our town with the mall, big stores, etc. is about 10-15 miles away from our house.

We got a 52

85! But we bought our house for that reason. We walk everywhere.

The house I grew up in is a big fat zero.

45.  Our house is about 1/5 of a mile from a couple of small shopping centers that have a McDonald's, QT, fitness place, and a few mediocre restaurants.  The next closest thing is a shopping center with a grocery store and some other stuff about a mile away.

60.  Not bad for the suburbs

I checked my old downtown neighborhood and it was 98.  I miss it, waaaaaah.
