Vancouver Extended Stay’s Walk Score
If you are someone who enjoys a daily walk as a part of a healthy lifestyle, the phrase “location, location, location,” translates into “walkable neighbourhood.” Walking is said to reduce the risk of heart disease, increase community involvement and extend one’s life. Communities are increasingly placing value on walkabiliy — the measure for how many services and amenities can be found within walking distance.
Walk Score is a free online service that measures just how walkable your neighbourhood is. It factors in elements such as how pedestrians-friendly the streets are, how accessible transit is and how many amenities are near by. How walkable is your neighbourhood? Find your Walk Score here.
