The Stride of Indiana:
Are These Cities Right for You?
Kendrick’s Comical Coverage of Redfin’s Most Walkable Cities
It’s time to lace up those sneakers, kiddos! According to our friend Redfin, you can not only get around but also enjoy Indiana, the spectacle that it is, through its pedestrian-friendly cities. Can you believe it – you don’t need a well-detailed map or your snazzy navigation app, your two legs are your best navigation tools here!
Speedway clenched the top spot like a class topper on Redbull, followed closely by Notre Dame. But you know what they say, it isn’t a race. Or is it, Speedway? Even Carmel made it onto the list, which I suppose eliminates the need for Carmel to throw a “we’re pedestrian-friendly too!” parade. Fishers and Lafayette were not far behind – pacing their steps presumably. For all you Bloomington residents poising to lead your ‘we demand a recount’ march, do note that you made the cut as well and can keep your pitchforks aside.
So house hunters, if you’re tired of arguing with your car’s GPS, consider Indiana cities. More walkable cities equate to more convenience and healthier living – it’s like a life-sized treadmill completely free of charge. Isn’t that an exercise we can all get behind?
Thus sprouts a new real estate trend: shoes over combustion engines. Watch out Prius; you’ve got competition from Denike’s and Reebok’s. Indiana is taking walkability up a notch, one step at a time (yes, pun army in full force today). It’s time to welcome the era of pedestrian-powered Indiana!
And that’s the meter reading on Redfin’s report. So what are you waiting for folks? If a healthier lifestyle is your jam, start exploring these friendly paths in Indiana. Remember, the ideal home isn’t just about fancy kitchens and hot tubs. Sometimes, it’s about being able to walk to get your morning coffee without encountering a minotaur. Indiana might just be paving the way (get it?) for more footloose and, paradoxically, settled living.
