[quote=Anonymous]OP: visit the neighborhoods yourself. Walk Score is a deeply flawed criterion and often doesn't match the actual walkability of the neighborhood. Not all stores are created equal: if you live in FH or CCDC, while it may seem nice to have Chevy Chase Pavilion and Mazza Gallerie nearby, those malls are essentially worthless for actual life. (And WalkScore still gives credit to some bodega-equivalent on Western that I've never, not once, seen open.) Actually, despite living in the area, much of Wisconsin Ave. is passable at best for commercial (exceptions being around Tenleytown metro). For many day-to-day things, the "Spring Valley" shopping center on Mass (Sbucks, Le Pain Quotidien, CVS, thai, pizza, grocery store) is more useful or at least as useful as the Tenleytown metro hub. The point is, don't trust a website and instead walk yourself. [/quote]
