The Huertas and Hughes families walk to get everything they need in Chestnut Hill. This fall, HillontheAvenue brings readers walking-friendly articles, videos, and maps with walking routes that will enhance your walking experience.

Living in Chestnut Hill means you can get anything you need just steps from your door – a grocery, a post office, a coffee shop, a school, a hospital, a train station, and so much more!

To support a walking-friendly lifestyle and a recent trend called New Urbanism, a movement that aims to improve walkability in cities, the website Walk Score posted a list of America's 10 most walkable cities, and Philadelphia made the list.

Furthermore, Chestnut Hill was ranked #31 most walkable neighborhood in Philadelphia with a walk score of 73 out of 100.

Walking Videos, Maps, Articles, Apps – This Month @ HillontheAvenue

Starting this month and running through October, HillontheAvenue is focusing on the walkability of our neighborhood. In the coming weeks, we’ll be posting videos, articles, iPod applications, maps with suggested walking routes, and so much more that will get everyone lacing up their walking shoes and exploring every inch of the Avenue on foot!

Keep an eye out for the Walkable Chestnut Hill icon that will be stamped on every article, map, and video that we think will enhance your neighborhood walking experience.

Tune into our latest video post to learn more about the Walkable Chestnut Hill!

Have an idea for a walking route, like a “Avenue Brunch Tour,” “Route for an Antique Afternoon,” or “Avenue Pub Crawl”? Share them with our editorial team!

It’s our goal to make maps that Hillers and Chestnut Hill visitors will use, share, re-post, and enjoy.
