Hands On The Heartland
Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

Are you wondering how accessible a particular address or neighborhood is? Wondering what amenities lie nearby and just how long it might take to walk or drive to those amenities? Well, the next best thing to driving the areas is checking out the area’s Walk Score or Drive Score. Walk Score has incorporate Google mapping into it’s functionality and is a great way to check out what parks, schools, library, shopping and other amenities are nearby. If you’re like me and  have no intentions of walking anywhere, then you’ll prefer to check out the Drive Score instead.

Keep in mind that a Walk Score doesn’t take into account topography (i.e. hills) or weather (i.e. how 10 degrees or 110 degrees would affect your walk). So whether you live in Kansas City, Overland Park, Olathe or another area city, just type in your home address and check the results. If you’re moving to the area, I suggest searching homes for sale on my site (www.JBPRealtyGroup.com) and finding a home that generally fits your needs. Enter that address into either site to find the Walk Score or Drive Score for that address.
