Top urban neighborhoods in the country with a minimum of best 2 out of 3 score of nothing less than 100 according to walkscore.com. I haven't seen one with a perfect 3 out 3 yet. walkscore/transitscore/bikescore
NYC (obviously): Little Italy, Chinatown, No Ho, SoHo, Flatiron District,
Greenwich Village
do you have the link for that? am curious (I don't think Rittenhouse in Philly is 100 for any yet to me would about as good an urban enclave as a neighborhood as anywhere (most def a top 100 if not top 5 or 10)
seems very few places score 100 on walk score let alone transit and bike score
Philly is a very walkable city. And I have no idea how SF feels bigger than Philly. I've been to SF and it felt the same size, which is impressive considering that Philly is much bigger.
SF's core looks a lot more dense looking from the air. Philly's structural density falls off a lot outside of the downtown area. SF has a large line of 5-8 story buildings that radiate out from the financial core which makes it feel larger. Neighborhoods like Chinatown and Tenderloin create a very big city urban environment.
Basically, it takes longer to get to the low rise 2-3 story urban neighborhoods in SF than it does in Philly.

I guess we also have to take in to consideration on how current these scores are and how often they update them since changes in population density growth, new projects, new business etc..can take place in any neighborhood over a course of time.
I saw the breakdown and apparently schools are factored into walkability lol. It's what didn't give it 100 in walking lmao.
Oh well, what ever floats their boat then. I guess they don't believe a perfect walkable urban neighborhood exists in this country.
