A web site called WalkScore lets you enter your address and be scored on the walkability of your neighborhood. Putting in my East Allegheny address, I get an 82. A random Arch Street address nets a 77. The 15212 zip code, however gets only a 43. My sister north suburban address is in the 30s, while the Shadyside zip code gets an 88. If your in the market for a home, the walk score is a good way to judge how convenient transportation will be, how easy it will be to walk outside and get the things you need and how much you'll need excercize equipment, a car or a gyme membership!
