Your Personal Playground: Without the Personal Price Tag
Let's be honest, your urban living space is likely to be smaller than its suburban counterpart, but think of the playground of fun waiting just steps from your front door! Take a Capitol Hill residence (Walk Score in the 90s), for example: Civic Center Park, Cheesman Park, Governor's Park and Washington Park are all just a stroll away. (No personal landscaping required.)
Fitbit Nirvana: Multitasking Your Errands
We all love our Fitbits and other step trackers. If you're a fellow œstep counter, always aiming for that 10,000 step pie-in-the -sky, a high walkability score could be your new best friend. Just turn your drive to the grocery into a walk to the neighborhood market! A home in Stapleton (Walk Score in the 50s), for instance, could provide you with the the almost perfect 10,000-step round trip walking experience to the local King Soopers Market.
Safety First: But Also Happy Hour
Walking is a wonderful thing. Not only can you earn that ever so satisfying buzz from your fitbit, you can also provide yourself with a free, and totally tipsy-proof way home from a night out with friends. Have a few sips knowing that you can walk (or stumble) home safely. The Denver Highlands boasts some of the hippest bars and restaurants in all of Denver, along with a brag-worthy Walk Score in the upper 80s the perfect neighborhood for a walk and a cocktail.
Walking is the new driving and, as far as Live Urban is concerned, one of the most alluring facets of a downtown lifestyle. Check out your Walk Score or see if your future residence is up to par and start reaping the rewards of walkable living.
