WalkScore.com is a fun website that helps people find walkable places to live. Type in any address and Walk Score shows you a map of what's nearby...stores, movie theaters, parks, restaurants, schools and more. Then it calculates a Walk Score for this address.

Walking is good for our health and our environment. What home buyer wouldn't want to know the amenities that are close by. To quote Walk Score, "Picture a walkable neighborhood. You lose weight each time you walk to the grocery store. You stumble home from last call without waiting for a cab. You spend less money on your car—or you don't own a car. When you shop, you support your local economy. You talk to your neighbors. "

You can even get a widget to include in your blog or website, which yu can see on my personal Blog.
