Searching for the piece of Boston real estate that’s right for you just got a whole lot easier. Boston is among one of the 30 cities that will get to experience a new product that will allow potential home buyers and renters to make decisions based on neighborhood public transportation costs and accessibility. Walk score, an online walkability index, has recently launched Transit Score, a new product that provides custom commute reports, as well as a home and transportation costs calculator.
Transit Score works by providing each entered address with a rating from 1-100, with 100 being “Rider’s Paradise”. For example, 52 Commonwealth Ave, one of our Back Bay apartments, scored a 97 because of its multiple transit options within a quarter of a mile. The website also features a home and transportation costs calculator to help the user gage the impact of their location choice.
Location is important criteria when selecting a home, and Transit Score reports help potential homebuyers and renters choose the residence that’s right for them based on convenience and costs. It’s no surprise that people are starting to use Transit Score to narrow their search for Boston homes and Boston condos.
Curious? Check out your Transit Score!
