Realtors® Survey: Americans Want Walkable Neighborhoods

A new survey by the National Association of REALTORS® shows that more people want less time in the car. The Community Preference Survey highlights that 56% of Americans prefer more walkable neighborhoods with a mix of nearby destinations to those that require more driving. Half of the respondents wanted improvements to existing public transportation rather then new roads and development, and nearly three out of five would trade square footage for short commute.
