What's your walk score?
It is not a secret that I love walking, all my friends know and sometimes hate me for saying: "No worries it is within a walking distance from here". Five years ago I have moved back right downtown - in the heart of the city so I can sell my car and have everything within a walking distance. There is something liberating about the idea of being right in the middle of things, being able to take a short stroll to store, movie theater or a local bar/club. Even the shopping centre, hundreds and hundreds of other shops, parks, cafes is literally around the corner from where I live now. I walk to the post office and to the library, local pharmacy and the bank is a block away! I love it and I would not want to live anywhere else in the city. How do you know if where you live or planning to move to is a walking friendly barrio? You can check it out now using a web site called Walk Score. I can proudly say that my neighbourhood is very walkable and my Walk Score is 90! Looking back right now, it makes a lot of sense to me that I made the right choice picking the place I am at moment. No matter if you are a renter or home buyer, before you move somewhere, you should truly take under serious consideration how walkable the area is for you and how much long term impact it will have on your lifestyle and overall costs. Especially in today's uncertain world of gas prices... As a added bonus - living in a walkable neighborhood is good for your health and good for the environment. What's your walk score?
