ZipRealty.com Adds Walk Score
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!

Hey guys, great job with the ZipRealty and rollout of the tool. We did a review of it on our blog (http://blog.rentingyourhome.com/2008/10/review-of-walkscorecom-advertising-your-walk-ability/) and are in the process of incorporating it into our next product rollout.
It’s great to see products that aren’t just generating tech because it’s cool…you took something from a consumer’s perspective and answered their question (What’s within walking distance of this apartment?), fantastic!
Best,
Jeff Takle
