To stroll through the most walking-friendly neighborhoods in Florida head to cluttered Miami Beach — or Sarasota.
That's a big takeaway in a new report from real estate brokerage Redfin. The firm uses data from Walk Score, which finds and promotes walkable neighborhoods. Walk Score analyzes walking routes within a given neighborhood, searching for amenities within a five-minute walk. The five-minute walks are given the maximum amount of points, while a 30-minute walk to amenities gets no points. Walk Score also measures pedestrian friendliness by analyzing population density and road metrics, such as the length of blocks.
The top 10 Florida list includes three neighborhoods in Miami Beach and another three in Fort Lauderdale, plus one in Orlando. Notably missing from the list is Tampa, where many leaders and officials pride themselves on the city's walkability. Walking to amenities is also a major selling point in many of the current large-scale development projects in Tampa.
