Walkability and The Bay Area

San Francisco has appeared on many “best of” lists over the years.  One list that you may not think about for San Francisco is most walkable.  However, the bay area has a great walkability score in many communities.  The San Francisco area has many ways to commute including cars and trolleys, but one of the best ways to explore our city is walking.

So what is a Walk Score?  How is walkability measured for cities?  There are many factors that can contribute to a cities ranking.  These include distance to restaurants, grocery stores, or other amenities.  More importantly this also includes how safe and pedestrian friendly the streets are for walkers.    

San Francisco is rated very walkable.  This means that you can get to most amenities by walking right from The Wilson Apartments .   The Wilson is in a great location that is surrounded by many restaurants and stores within a short distance.

Are you looking for some new clothing, but do not feel like driving to get to your favorite store?  You can walk less than a mile from The Wilson and check out Hugo Boss.   This high fashion line is great for the young professional in the office. They have styles for men, women, and children all within a five minute walk of your home.

After a long day of shopping, you may want to sit down for a bite to eat.  Make sure to check out The Chieftain Irish Restaurant and Pub.  This great bar and restaurant offers your favorite Irish selections with daily specials and great happy hours.  You can even take quick walk to the pub for live music or to watch the Giants win the World Series. 


There are many great places to explore that are all within walking distance of Market Street.  Take a walk this weekend to enjoy the weather, and you can see what is all around your home at The Wilson.
