Hailed as “the most walkable neighborhood in Baltimore” by
walkscore.com last year, Federal Hill now has the fantastic walkability score
of 98!
A “Walker’s Paradise,” the website says, where daily errands
in Federal Hill don’t require a car, and that’s a great thing! A high
walkability scores means:
- People
in walkable neighborhoods weigh 6-10 lbs less.
- Walkable
places make you happier and healthier.
- Short
commutes reduce stress and increase community involvement.
Not only is Federal Hill walkable, it has an “excellent”
transit score of 74. So it’s easy to get to and easy to get around!
The walk score is measured by an algorithm, which gives
points based on how close amenities are to a given location. The website allows
visitors to put in a neighborhood or a specific address and computes the walk
score for that location. In addition, walkscore.com is also beta testing a
“street smart” walk score, in which the Federal Hill Business District receives
a score of 100!
So next time you’re in need of a bar or restaurant, live
entertainment, coffee, gifts and clothing, realtors, tax professionals, and
spas, think of Federal Hill, and your destination will only be a few blocks
away!
