Walk Score, Bike Score, and Transit Score are now included in the Real Estate Category Neighbourhood information. These scores, provided by a third party (Local Logic), indicate how walkable, bikeable, and transit-friendly the area around a property is.
- Walk Score: Measures how easy it is to run errands on foot from a particular address. It considers the distance to nearby amenities like grocery stores, restaurants, parks, schools, and shops. A higher Walk Score indicates that many destinations are within walking distance.
- Bike Score: Assesses how bikeable an area is based on factors like the availability of bike lanes, the presence of hills, and the connectivity of bike routes. A higher Bike Score indicates that the area is well-suited for cycling.
- Transit Score: Evaluates how well-served an area is by public transportation. It factors in the frequency, type, and proximity of transit options like buses, trains, and subways. A higher Transit Score means that the property has good access to public transit.
These scores provide valuable information for people looking to buy or rent a property, as they can help them choose a location that aligns with their lifestyle and transportation preferences. For example, someone who prefers to walk or bike for their daily needs might prioritize a property with a high Walk Score or Bike Score, while someone who relies on public transportation might be more interested in a property with a high Transit Score.
