Adagio Awarded PERFECT Walk Score!


All of us are aware of the real estate adage "Location, Location, Location". The physical location of the property effects every aspect of marketing and sale. In Chevy Chase, Bethesda and most close in suburbs, Walkability has become a buzzword with potential buyers.

A new website has been developed to provide buyers with a objective analysis of how walkable a property is. This site, Walkscore.com , will allow you to compare various locations to determine how convenient they are to shopping, restaurants, public transportation and city conveniences.

If you live in The Adagio, you already know how convenient the location is to all amenities. You will be pleased to hear that The Adagio was awarded a perfect 100 for walkability.

What does my score mean?

Your Walk Score is a number between 0 and 100. Here are general guidelines for interpreting your score: 90–100 = Walkers' Paradise: Most errands can be accomplished on foot and many people get by without owning a car. 70–89 = Very Walkable: It's possible to get by without owning a car. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable: Some stores and amenities are within walking distance, but many everyday trips still require a bike, public transportation, or car. 25–49 = Car-Dependent: Only a few destinations are within easy walking range. For most errands, driving or public transportation is a must. 0–24 = Car-Dependent (Driving Only): Virtually no neighborhood destinations within walking range. You can walk from your house to your car!

When marketing a condominium in the Chevy Chase and Bethesda area this walkability score is a must have in your marketing materials. Why wouldn't you exploit the beauty and convenience of Crescent Plaza by telling people how close you are to EVERYTHING!
