Having a high walk score has become one of the latest shopping items when looking for a home or condo in the Long Beach area. What exactly is a walk score? Well think about it this way, having a high walk score means that you have many local amenities that are within walking distance from you home or condo. Places like restaurants, grocery stores, movie theater, retail shopping stores are all within a short distance from your place of residence. The higher the score the closer these places are to the place where you live. Scores go up to a 100 so if you see a score of 95 then you know that you have picked a place that offers a lot of places close by.
