What is Walk Score? It is actually a measure of your areas "walkability". If you have a high walk score, it means that your area has more amenities around which does not require a car - which is good since it is more convenient to have amenities nearby. It also measures whether your area have the necessary pathways for walking. So just type in your address (or the address of the place you intend to rent) and get the score now. It might not be always perfect, but it does come close. The site comes with walk score "heat maps" for your convenience as well.
