How walkable is your neighborhood?

A neighborhood that is built to accommodate access to local amenities without the reliance on vehicles of transportation contributes to its degree of walkability. Providing health, environmental and economic benefits, walkability is an imprtant factor for many when deciding which community to settle in. A town that is easy to meneuver also gives residents the opportunity to increase their social interactions, become more invilved in local issues and reduce crime as more people walk around and watch over their communities.
