How walkable is your Mobile AL address?

DateMonday, April 6, 2009 at 01:23PM

A new web site, Walkscore.com caculates the walkability of any neighborhood by locating nearby restaurants, stores, schools, parks, etc. Walkscore measures how easy it is to live a car-lite lifestyle -- not how pretty the area is for walking.

As an experiment I put in my midtown address. The Walkscore came in at 63 out of 100 ranking "somewhat walkable". That seems reasonable. I would probably give about the same assessment when I think about what conveniences are close by, close enough to actually walk to.

Not only does the site give you a Walkscore, it also provide a Zestimate of your home value. provides you a map and listing of all local, in walking distance, conveniences, and the scoop on other neighborhoods and cities.
