Compute your home’s “Walk Score”

I recently discovered a pretty neat feature called “Walk Score” that will soon be added to all of our listings.  I thought I’d go ahead and share it with you while I struggle with the technology.

It’s pretty cool. Type in your address and the site computes your home’s “Walk Score”, based on how close it is to stores, libraries, coffee shops, etc. It also gives you the closest of all these criteria and the mileage.

The closer your home is to all these places, the higher the “Walk Score”. It should probably be called the “how far do you  have to walk to get run a bunch of errands score”, but that doesn’t sound quite as catchy.

Click on the drop down arrows for lists of the eight closest of each category to your house. Click on the satellite button for an aerial view.

When you forward the link to all your friends (which you will, because it’s so cool), tell them you saw it on the Greensboro Real Estate Blog.
