As the weather warms up and spring brings its beauty back to the Mid-Atlantic region, going for a walk becomes a great idea.
Walking is an excellent form of exercise, a good way to meet your neighbors and helps cut down on pollution from cars. When you’re shopping for a new home, New Homes Guide can help you find some of the region’s best walkable communities.
The two factors that create the most walkable new homes communities are planning and location. When you find a well-planned community that’s near shopping, dining and other amenities, like those featured in New Homes Guide’s Planned Communities Supplement, you’ll be able to add much more walking to your lifestyle.
Planned communities are a strong choice for walkability, and most include the important elements that encourage walking. Often centered around an array of amenities like fitness centers, pools, tennis courts and community centers, these communities offer homebuyers the opportunity to find the recreation that they need without driving.
Communities that are anchored to convenient commercial districts and dining really cut down on the number of car trips that you take as well.
Choosing a community that prizes walkability and convenience means that you have a great opportunity to get in those extra steps a day that everyone’s striving for. Make New Homes Guide your companion as you look for a new home in a beautiful walkable community in Maryland, D.C., Virginia and Delaware.
