coming from living in several actually walkable east coast cities, this place is only somewhat more walkable than miami. insomuch as they both have sidewalks.

even portland was more walkable than here. but if the super north isn’t your cup of tea (and you don’t have a pre-existing sports rivalry to not move there) philly is what you’re looking for.

If you live in federal hill (and parts of the West end close to federal hill), Fox point, the jewelry district, or downtown I'd say it's extremely walkable.

Federal Hill has a walk score of 93, Fox point has a 94 and downtown has a 99

It definitely depends on the neighborhood

I've been to Portland Maine and from what I can tell just the downtown area is walkable. The rest of it doesn't have much goin without driving somewhere.
