Picking out a new apartment can be exciting. You may have an idea of what you would like out of that apartment. You have a list of the amenities that you would like to have, plus the ones that you are willing to compromise on if you must. You have an idea of a few neighborhoods that would be nice and convenient for what you like to do. And you know the amount of space that is necessary and the price that you can afford for the apartment you would like to call your own. Everything is lining up nicely and you are ready to start your search.

When you do go and tour some of the apartments that make it on your list, you will need to take into account how walkable the apartment is as well. Are there any sidewalks that you can utilize for walking around or pedestrian-friendly crosswalks? Or will you find that you will need to walk to the store or the dog park on a busy street that doesn’t have a shoulder, making it dangerous for you and the kids? These are things that you need to think about before you decide to move, or you will quickly regret that decision.

Choosing an area that has high walkability and transportation options that will get you from point A to point B without it being dangerous to you and others along the way. If you do not like the walkability of a specific area, then it may be a good idea to look at some of the other apartments in the area and choose one of them instead.

You can look at a few different places to figure out if the new apartment is going to be easy to walk or not. Some sites like Zillow will tell you their guess on how walkable that area is. Or you can do an in person tour of the place to get an idea of whether this is going to be safe for you to utilize or not. You can then make a decision based on that.
