You also need to check the roof condition, it will also affect your insurance rates**

I agree. But I don't think any AREAS there that have walkability and grocery stores. Do you? Even Old NE, we have to drive to all.

Walkability in Florida is a myth.

It's really an urban legend because it only exists in like 3 areas in America

The "walkability" thing is ridiculous. Who walks to the grocery store no matter WHERE you live? I fill my trunk with stuff when I go, not buy a tiny bag of food..

It's a myth unless you live in New York City... or a couple other places

Of course, most people under 30 dont cook anyway

I guess I should amend my description, by Florida-standards, Old NE, Crescent Lake, Crescent Heights, Woodlawn, and Euclid St Paul's are relatively walkable to amenities, parks, transit, and restaurants. Grocery stores (to be fair) are a little too far for a lot groceries. Besides downtown, most other neighborhoods require a car for most trips. We are going in Bicycle infrastructure, its slow to improve but it is getting better. This is just from my experience

Does the mail man still deliver on a bicycle in that area? I always thought hat was cool.

To me, restaurants there are only walkable if you live right downtown in one of those condos. I personally would NOT walk from anywhere else, most of old NE (and other neighborhoods) are too far, especially at night.

Right - Most of Old NE is not walkable to a restaurant it seems.
