Walk from your house
In the suburbs it's easy to live in a place where there is no real possibility to get around without owning a car, but how do you quantify the measure of it? One website does just that with walkscore.com. Enter your address and get a score of ease of access to grocery stores, restaurants, shops, etc. Very cool to see your neighborhood from this point of view and a very good tool for somebody looking for specific things in their new home. Our score is 74 out of 100 which isn't bad for 'burbs. It's very walkable: it's possible to get by without owning a car, although I would recommend having one for sure :)
