      I don’t think there’s a significant correlation between walkable cities and higher real estate prices. There are plenty of unwalkable cities with high real estate prices and vice versa. That’s more a product of a large number of factors, from average income to density to quality of education and beyond. Walkability could be one of those, but I am doubtful it is a primary one, at least in the US.

      Rent is 300/mo/2bd here. 2 grociers and a market are 5 minutes by bike. You can park within a few feet of your destination because of how dense parking bikes is. This is the 6th city I’ve stayed in where this is true, more if you’re a little looser with the requirements.
