- Proximity - The ability to get to your daily destinations (work, school, shopping and play) by foot or on bike
- Mixed-use and mixed income - Neighborhoods should have houses for every stage of life, from starter houses, to large family houses, and everything in between. Neighborhoods should also have a mix of business types: spaces for start-ups, established corporations, mom-and-pop shops, and lots of restaurants
- Complete streets - Streets should be designed for people, not cars. Large sidewalks, protected bike lanes, and public transit are all good indicators of “complete streets”
- Green - open spaces, trees, parks, and places to gather
What Makes a Walkable Neighborhood
Benefits of Walkable Neighborhoods
- Community - Residents in walkable neighborhoods see and interact a lot more with their neighbors, and build stronger bonds in their community.
- Health - When active transportation (walking and biking) is built into your lifestyle, the exercise you naturally get will keep you fit and healthy. Less diabetes, heart disease, and less obesity.
- Wealth - Americans spend a LOT of money on vehicles (insurance, gas, commuting time, maintenance, and the vehicle itself). Walkable neighborhoods GREATLY reduce your transportation costs, or eliminates them altogether.
