If you're looking for a new home, you might notice something called the " Walk Score^®" on property listings. But what does it really mean for you?

The Walk Score^® algorithm calculates a score of walkability based on distance to 13 categories of amenities (e.g., grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, bars, movie theaters, schools, parks, libraries, book stores, fitness centers, drug stores, hardware stores, clothing/music stores). A high walk score means your new home is within walking distance to essential amenities—making life more convenient and car-lite!

What are the scores?
90-100: Walker's Paradise. Daily errands do not require a car.
70-89: Very Walkable. Most errands can be accomplished on foot.
50-69: Somewhat Walkable. Some errands can be accomplished on foot.
25-49 Car Dependent. Most errands require a car.
0-24: Car-Dependent. Almost all errands require a car.
