Stride With Pride: The Top Ten Walkable Cities in Louisiana

Stride With Pride: The Top Ten Walkable Cities in Louisiana – A Redfin Roundup

Article Highlights:

  • Redfin, known for their sharp insights into the real estate world, has launched an intriguing list of the top 10 most walkable cities in Louisiana.
  • This list isn’t just a random group of names thrown into a hat. Redfin uses a ‘Walk Score’ rating to measure how convenient it is to complete daily tasks (such as picking up milk or going to the bank) without needing a vehicle.
  • The ‘Crescent City,’ New Orleans, unsurprisingly leads the pack. It boasts a sky-high score of 86.56, proving it isn’t just known for brass bands and beignets.
  • If you are looking to rub shoulders with art folk, Lafayette might be the city for you with its walkability score of 58.47.
  • Baton Rouge, famously known for being the heart of Louisiana’s political life, gained a respectable walkability score of 39.86.
  • Shockingly, Shreveport scooted to the bottom of the top 10 list with a humble walkability score of 32.54.

Here Comes the Hot Take:

And now, it’s time for the ‘soled’ truth. The real estate landscape is changing faster than a chameleon on a rainbow. As more and more people shift their priorities from size and opulence to convenience and community, the charm of walkable cities has suddenly become an alluring come hither glance from the cute neighbor across the street.

While your daddy’s real estate magnate might raise an eyebrow at this ‘Walk Score’ nonsense, hardened, foot-blistered urbanites know the real deal. If you can saunter down to the corner store for a carton of milk faster than you can say, “Find my car keys!” then you’ve struck residential gold.

So, is Louisiana flirting with a future of pedestrian-friendly metropolises? It sure seems like it. Then, who wouldn’t swoon over croissant-wrapped mornings trekked by foot to the nearest café on New Orleans’ cobblestone streets or an evening stroll down Baton Rouge’s sun-soaked lanes?

Turns out, the melting pot state is warming up to the idea of walking off that Gumbo before you even get home. So, take off those driving gloves and put on the hiking boots, because Louisiana is lacing its cities with walkability.
