Most buyers’ top priorities when choosing a new home are its location, price, and whether the community has amenities like a pool, a clubhouse, or a playground for the kids. While these are completely reasonable factors to consider, what they usually overlook is how a nice, walkable neighborhood is important as well, as it will encourage you and your family to have a more active lifestyle.

Walking Is the Best Exercise

Everyone knows exercise is important to keep you healthy. When people think of exercise, though, their mind usually goes to lifting weights at the gym or sweating profusely from running on the treadmill. But being active doesn’t have to mean following a complicated workout routine. Simply walking around your neighborhood can have positive effects on your overall health.

According to studies, a daily 30-minute walk is enough for you to reap the benefits of regular physical activity. Some might even say that walking is the best form of exercise as you don’t have to learn how to do it and the risk of injury is low.

Walking daily can help you lose body fat and maintain a healthy weight, improve your cardiovascular health, strengthen your muscles and bones, improve your mood and alleviate stress, and prevent conditions like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
