Walking distance to things like a grocery store or heck, just a short five minute drive to something would be good. Too many housing subdivisions are a thirty minute drive to even a gas station. It makes me wonder what people are thinking in building a housing community in the middle of nowhere. In the USA walkability is under rated.

Walkability is amazing

Being priced out of suburbia hell ended up being a good thing for me. I would've loved to have a garage and more privacy, but found those were decent trade-offs for the convenience of living in the city. There are 2 major shopping centers that I can drive to in 30 seconds or walk to in about 10 minutes.
