My Walk Score Is???

I recently learned about a great new website called Walk Score. Using Google maps, business listings, schools, parks, etc., Walk Score determines the ease of accessibility of ones neighborhood. Walk Score is proving to be a valuable tool for both the home Seller and Buyer. For the Seller it isn’t just about location and curb appeal, and for the Buyer that is looking to purchase in a “walkability” neighborhood, before making that purchase, this will be a site to check out. Walkability means the ease with which one can enjoy his/her community via shanks’ pony, otherwise known as one’s legs.

Walking can be good for the individual, neighborhood and environment—not to mention the pocketbook.

My Walk Score is 69. What’s yours?
