Perfectly Walkable Small Towns

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Walkability isn’t an urban phenomenon, it’s an everywhere phenomenon.  Walk Score advisor Dan Burden created a great list of walkable small towns.  We decided to build on Dan’s list by finding 10 small towns with locations that have perfect 100 Walk Scores.

Aspen, CO | Key West, FL | Healdsburg, CA | Missoula, MT | Flagstaff, AZ | Brunswick, ME | Lawrence, KS | Juneau, AK | Middlebury, VT | Moscow, ID

This is just a start and we’re hoping to build a comprehensive list in the future—and to create walkability maps for small towns that are similar to the maps we made for the 40 largest U.S. cities.

Tip: want to see some hot pedestrian-centric design? Look at Lawrence, KS or Healdsburg, CA and then click the “Go to street level view” link above the map.

ZipRealty.com Adds Walk Score

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

ZipRealty.com just added Walk Score to all of their property listings (1,377,591 active homes, last time we checked).

“With gas prices going through the roof, our buyers want homes closer to where they work, local stores, and public transportation,” says Patrick Lashinsky, ZipRealty’s President and CEO.

Kudos to ZipRealty.com for helping their customers find homes in walkable neighborhoods.  Not only are walkable homes smart investments in an age of $4/gallon gas, they’re better for your waistline (people in walkable neighborhoods weigh about 7 pounds less) and they’re better for the planet.

Head on over to ZipRealty.com to find your next walkable house!
