Ann Arbor Buyer Tools

Then you need to check out www.walkscore.com!
This site allows you to scope out what is within walking distance from an address.
So, my listing at 1616 Waltham in Ann Arbor, MI has a walk score of 49. Walk Scores may help buyers find walkable places to live.
You might value the fact that this home is within walking distance to Dicken Elementary School more than the programmer did and thus the score is not the true measure to each individual, but I found it interesting. What I did not find in this patent-pending technology, was proximity to public transportation. However, included are grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, movie theaters, schools, parks, libraries, bookstores, fitness centers, drug stores, hardware stores, clothing stores and music. This might be more useful to those who are pedestrian bound, but I thought it was worth a look. For those buyers who want to AVOID 10 COMMON BUYER MISTAKES THAT CAN COST YOU $1,000's, Click Here!
