Denver Ranked Among Top Walkable Cities
Greenwood Village, CO, January 25, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Denver ranks number 11 among the “Most Walkable” cities according to Walk Score, which calculates ratings from 1 to 100 for walkability. Walk Score believes walkable neighborhoods are one of the simplest and most effective solutions to halt climate change, improve our health, and strengthen our communities.
Homebuyers now have access to property specific walkability ratings when looking for that perfect house or condo. REcolorado.com, real estate website from Metrolist®, recently integrated Walk Score ratings with its listings. "Our vision is for property listings to read: Bedrooms 3, Bathrooms: 2, Walk Score: 84," said Mike Mathieu, founder of Walk Score. "We're pleased to see leading real estate portals, helping their customers find walkable properties."
Looking for a neighborhood with high walkability? Properties in Lodo, Golden Triangle, Cherry Creek and Capitol Hill scored at 90 or above. Homes in these areas would be considered “Walkers Paradise” where “most errands can be accomplished on foot and many people get by without owning a car.”
Walk Scores are calculated using proprietary algorithm that awards points based on the distance to the closest amenity in specified categories. Walk Score calculates the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc.
If you’re interested in a more active lifestyle or simply reducing environment impacts caused by greenhouse gases, look for your next home on REcolorado.com. Use the Walk Score rating to find a walkable neighborhood or property that meets your standards for quality living.
