Default How walkable is your town?

Is it safe to say that car culture has failed us?

Get Your Walk Score - A Walkability Score For Any Address

Rockville Centre scores an 85 and as a non-driver, I would have to agree. I can get wherever I need to go on foot.

Islip- 63/100. Depending where in Islip, some places are easier to walk than others. Im between Sunrise and Main street which makes walking easy. I can walk to everything if needed to be. Including the train station.

42/100 for Bellport north of Sunrise. Surprisingly not horrible, all things considered. Having Stop & Shop to the north and the Outlets to the south help a lot.

Hey whats with the outlets by the Royal Oak?

It looks abandoned on the South Side of Sunrise.

I think they failed because you cant walk between them..what a mistake.
