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!

Maybe it’s high gas prices, maybe it’s concerns over energy security or global warming, maybe people want a healthier lifestyle—but whatever it is, we were thrilled by the response to our launch of America’s Most Walkable Neighborhoods.

Here’s a sampling of our favorite coverage that describes how people are using Walk Score to find walkable places to live:

• Front page of the SF Chronicle covers Walk Score, the benefits of walking, and the real estate market.
• USA Today tells the story of Scott Arbeit using Walk Score to save $2,000 a year.
• #1 story on Yahoo! discusses the most walkable cities.
  
• Front page story on MSN.com and a great video on MSNBC.
• Seattle’s King 5 news declared “walkability” the new buzzword in real estate.
• Inman News discusses Walk Score and the real estate industry.
• And a bunch more: ABC News, NPR, Washington Post, Chicago Sun Times, etc.

We’re excited to be named in Planetizen’s annual list of the 10 best planning, design and development websites!

This award is especially cool because it’s nominated by their readers! Thanks to Planetizen and to our users for making Walk Score an instrumental resource for spreading the walkable gospel!

We live in Seattle. We love Seattle. We think Seattle is a positive force in the universe. So we were thrilled when Seattle Metropolitan Magazine named Walk Score one of the 50 ways that Seattle will change the world.

And the best part? Walk Score is listed above Zillow!
