We have a very nice biking community and the inner neighborhoods have been protected from recent Real Estate woes. In fact, we still see increases in pricing in some neighborhoods. People are definitely identifying with a community, and seem more concerned with their quality of life than their space. I'm hoping to see those values in other cities that I visit. "Walkscore" is listed on most marketing pieces here, because people want to know. Thanks Jim. Walkability is King here in Portland, especially close-in.

Surrounded by 3000 acres of bird sanctuary. I'm from C'ville and want to share this paradise within a paradise. Temps go from 60 -80 yer round. New Zealand, North Island. An absolute fantasy for a B&B.

It really is a quality of life thing when you can walk to school, the store, farmers market or in-town events like music at the town green or gazebo. One day we will also add "ride-ability" for communities where bikes are king! As a buyer agent, I have always enjoyed discussing the things people can walk to from a home, and the more the better.
