Many of you contact me looking for a home in a "walk to" location. I live in an area like that, and I think it is going to continue to be a growing trend.
Some people want to be able to walk to downtown Asheville, but many just want to be able to walk to a cafe or coffee house. There are certainly areas in Asheville and our surrounding towns that offer walkabilty.
Last week, a co-worker put me onto this website, WalkScore.com, which is really cool. You can enter an address, and it will not only give it a walkbility score, it will map the amenities nearby.
I did notice that when I put in my West Asheville address, it missed some of the hotspots (like Sunny Point Cafe). But it generally did a great job.
