Good area to work/live in?

A nice way to quickly see what is around a new job or place to live.
My office rating: 82/100
- Retric 19y agoCool 1550 Crystal Drive Arlington VA 22202 = 85 ;) Not bad for the east cost IMO. Granted, I walk to work and my home address is only 77 so it's a little off. Hmm, it looks like it's missing a lot of stores and a mall so it's not that bad.
- robin_bb 19y agoThe walk score for my home was only 30, and I walk everywhere. I don't even own a car. So, the score is not meaningful.
- neilc 19y agoCool idea, but I agree that the implementation needs work. The score for my office is 68, but it is really not walkable at all. Whereas the score for my home is only a 62, but I never need to use a car at home.
- raju 19y agoHmm... The area I live in Columbus, OH has a 80/100! Though some of the information is outdated, I saw two stores - one pharmacy and one hardware store that closed down some time ago that might have thrown the score off...
- donal 19y agoMy current job (until 12/21): 3 out of 100 And, my new job (on 1/7): 91 out of 100 That about sums up my oppinion of both places too...
- dbrush 19y agoWalk Score: 98 out of 100 49th st, New York, NY 10019
- dreish 19y agoIf you're looking for 100/100, plug in ZIP code 10001 (no address -- puts you around the corner from Madison Square Garden). 83210, in rural Idaho, gets a donut.
- downer 19y agoI would like to see this expanded with a Streetwalkers category, worth up to 6.9 points. They are a natural fit for hackers, with similar hours.
- nextmoveone 19y agoi used that before, my job is 93 and where i am going to move is 97. p.s. its west palm beach (downtown)

- Goladus 19y agoLast time I did this there was a place on Boylston street in Boston with a score of 100.
- mikesabat 19y agowohoo! 98/100 - University and 9th st. in NYC.
- VinzO 19y agomy home rating : 6/100 ! work rating 14/100 !
- interknot 19y agoThey should take climate into consideration. My apartment in Madison, Wisconsin scores 92/100. I'd generally agree with this, but when it's 15 degrees Fahrenheit on your walk to work... Brr.
- donal 19y agoSo true about Madison. Great city when the temperatures are above, I don't know 25 degrees. I miss the angelic brewing co. and the farmers market. Oh, the crazy stuff you could find during moveout and the broom street theater is ridiculous.
