One of the many pleasures of living in Western MA is you are away for the hustle and bustle of city life and suburbia. Our smaller towns offer a more laid back way of life that moves at a little slower pace than much of the world. This is one reason I thought you might enjoy the following website to rate the "walk-ability" of your neighborhood. 

 www.WalkScore.com allows you to type in any address and it will calculate the distance to things like the nearest grocery store, movie theater, library, school, park, and pharmacy. You might find you really don't need that second car and with gas prices what they are, that would be a treat!

 

Why not consider the walk-ability of a neighborhood the next time you are in the market for a new home?  Or, if you’ve recently moved to a new home, check out the walk-ability to various destinations in your new neighborhood.
