Family Walking Along Street With Shopping Bags

When it comes to living in the DC metro area, driving and commuting usually come with the territory. But if enduring a long drive to get to and from work or nearby amenities doesn’t sound enticing, you’ll be glad to know that there are still plenty of options for walkable, accessible living in our area.

In a walkable community, you’ll have unparalleled access to the places that matter most. Shopping, dining, entertainment, recreation, mass transit — it’s all right at your fingertips when you choose a home at one of these accessible destinations.

Because you’ll be spending less time getting to the places you want to go, you’ll get to spend more time actually enjoying them. In some cases, you may even decide owning a car is optional because of all the transportation options that become available to you. That’s why we recommend these communities to young families with tight schedules, busy professionals or people who are just looking for a low-maintenance lifestyle.

Finding a walkable community with the help of New Homes Guide is easy. Many of our featured condo listings come from accessible, urban communities. But you can also pinpoint the exact location and home style you’d like by using our powerful search tools.

Simply visit NewHomesGuide.com and start your search by entering relevant information in the “Search for Your New Home” section at the top of the page. And once you’ve entered the necessary information, select “+ Search Options,” and you’ll be presented with the list below.

From there, select “Walkable Living” to filter your search results. You can also select “Metro Accessible” or any of the other amenities you’d like to have in your new community to narrow your search further.

There are so many great walkable communities to choose from on our website, and today is the best day to get your search started. And don’t forget, you can always find more information about all of the communities in our area in the latest issue of New Homes Guide.
