If you can live close to where you work and shop, it’s ideal. It’s getting easier to pick a location by looking at the “Walkability Score” of a property which ranges from 0-100. For each address, Walk Score analyzes hundreds of walking routes to nearby amenities. Points are awarded based on the distance to amenities in each category; grocery, food and drink, parks, shopping, sports and recognition, entertainment, emergency and services.
So what are Fort Myers & Cape Coral’s Walk Scores?
Cape Coral has an average Walk Score of 17: Car-Dependent – almost all errands require a car.
Fort Myers has an average Walk Score of 35: Car-Dependent – Most errands require a car.
Minneapolis, MN, that really, really, cold place with lots of snow? The city has a Walk Score of 71: Very Walkable – Most Errands can be accomplished on foot
