TECH: New website ranks how "walkable" your neighborhood is

Check out walkscore.com. We have been publishing static "Home Turf" maps for all our listings on our websites, and printing these handy guides to area amenities to include with our property brochures. But having the link to walkscore.com seems to bring the map to life. A map pops up with the address in the middle, amenities in the neighborhood gradually fill the map as a slider moves from left (not very walk-able) to right (nice and pedestrian friendly.) Fortunately, as Chicago real estate agents, all of our listings are rated "Best" just by virtue of their location in the city.

Check out some of these walkscore maps of our listings:

• All our Wellington Park listings
• 2650 N. Mildred in Lincoln Park
• The Lights on Broadway condos in Uptown

Definitely a fan of the new walkscore.com.
