We have a great new feature on the Home Search. Walk Score.com- it helps you find a Walkable Place to live. 
I typed in my address, and it gives the distance to local attractions- grocery stores, schools etc. and then rates your neighborhood in terms of walkability. I live in the “boon docks” so needless to say, my neighborhood did not score will, but it does pop-up a map of the area and other information. So if you are looking for a walking friendly neighborhood in Gilbert, look no further.
The really great thing is that when you search property on the Queen Creek Living , you can now search by Walk Score as well. From the Diverse Solutions Blog here are the details:
Starting today, all of our IDX clients can easily flip a switch in their control panel area to enable that great Walk Score functionality. Specifically, we’ve implemented it in the following four places on our IDX:
Search by Walk Score. Now this is cool. We love being able to put in an address Walk Score, but it makes it SO much better when you don’t have to constantly look up the Walk Score for each address for each property you’re interested in buying / leasing.
- Sort by Walk Score. If you can search by Walk Score, you should be able to sort by Walk Score too. Just click in the “sort by” box at the top of the results and choose “Walk Score, Highest First” to order the search results from highest to lowest Walk Score.
3. View the Walk Score in both the search results and property details. Even if our clients choose not to show the “Search by Walk Score” search panel, they can still enable the functionality to allow their visitors to see the Walk Score for each listing in both the search results and property details. Check it out here; just look for the little walking guy icon at the top-right of each search result and in the top-right corner of the property details area.
4. View the Walk Score tile. When you click on the “Walk Score” link at the top-right of the property details area, you’ll see the Walk Score tile that shows all of the amenities that are factored into the score.
So if you are looking for a “walking” friendly neighborhood in Gilbert, or what amenities are within walking distance, this cool tool will give you all the answers you need.
I hope you enjoy this new added feature.
