Everyone knows location is THE single most important aspect when buying a home. But walkability is moving up on that list. According to Real Estate expert Brendon DeSimone, walkability is becoming a key factor in the search process for house-hunters. There are even websites and apps that help people figure out how walkable their future home will be. Zillow, a leading online real-estate database, now offers a Walk Score for most homes.
With the high cost and inconvenience of commuting, many homeowners are now putting high value on the ability to walk to a store, school, work or public transportation. Experts say investing in a home or property with a good walkability factor now will make it even more desirable over the next few decades.
