Ann Arbor People Like to Walk
Walking in Ann Arbor is a top priority for many homeowners. People wanting to live in the downtown area, Old West Side, Burns Park and Ann Arbor Hills area, have chosen to live there because they enjoy walking to parks, coffee shops, University of Michigan, and grocery stores.
I found a nifty little tool that will help new home buyers see how close the walking distance is to the above. It is called Walk Score.
Go ahead put your address and in and see how close everything is to your house.
For buyers check out the true walking distance before you purchase.
There are currently 130 homes on the market in Ann Arbor where the listing agent has used the remarks, “downtown”. Ten of those are under contract, so 120 available. They are priced from $134,000 to $350,000.

That is a nifty tool. After huffing and getting a wee bit scared from snow shoveling yesterday I need to walk as much as Ann Arborites (is that a word??)

That is pretty neat. I wish I lived in a walking community…especially with the high cost of fuel.

Carole, yes that’s a word, lol we call our town A2 and mail gets delivered to it.
Monika, people actually call and say, ” I want to be in walking distance to downtown or the U.”
