Fall is here, and with cooler weather and colorful leaves, it’s the perfect time to step outside and enjoy your neighborhood. If you live at one of our most walkable communities, a stroll to nearby restaurants, coffee shops, and parks is just steps from your front door.
What makes a community walkable?
According to Walk Score, walkability is all about convenience, quality of life, and accessibility to everything right outside your door. Living within close proximity to the places you visit most allows you to spend less time commuting and more time doing what you love. Walking also benefits the environment by reducing driving emissions, and the health benefits are countless including improved heart health, stronger bones, better balance, and more.
How Walk Scores are calculated
Walk Scores are determined by factors such as walking routes, nearby amenities, distance to those amenities, pedestrian friendliness, population density, and neighborhood boundaries. At Simpson, we strive to provide our residents with convenience and connectivity, and walkability is a key part of that.
