I would LOVE to know where this is?? If it's more walkable that JUST the school.

I have lived in suburbs near enough to schools that you can walk on 2 occasions in both NC and AZ but this was a very lucky quality, not the norm AT ALL, highly desirable, and you could walk to practically nothing other than the school. Leaving the neighborhood on foot was not a good place to be walking.

This is true for a lot of families in Somerville/Cambridge MA, one of the major reasons I live here. I can exist without a car
