Cool Website

We were introduced to the walk score for our last home on St. Vincent Ave by our real estate agent Dawn Griffin. It is a calculation done based on how many conveniences you can walk to from your home. Things like grocery stores, restaurants, movie theaters, parks, coffee shops and on and on are used to give a score. 0 is horrible, 100 is you don't need a car for almost anything. Our last house was a 72, not shabby (very walkable). The new home's score is a 95, aka walkers paradise (http://www.walkscore.com/get-score.php?street=1061+yale+63117). Now we are not planning on giving up our cars anytime soon, but we are really excited to be able to walk around our new neighborhood for most of our everyday conveniences.

For those living in more urban areas check out the site to see if you can beat a 95. There are just over 140 walkers paradise neighborhoods in the biggest 40 cities around America (of course Richmond Heights did not make the list because of the size of the city). We are stoked to have this opportunity at our new home.
