Fall is the perfect part of the year to discover your neighborhood by walking around. Here’s a list of the most walkable towns in America.

San Francisco (WalkScore: 1)
Nob Hill
One of San Francisco’s most revered, elegant neighborhoods is a joy to stroll. California Street is the artery that runs through much of San Francisco, and it forms the spine of Nob Hill.

North Beach
Hard by Chinatown and Fisherman’s Wharf, North Beach is one of San Francisco’s more romantic strolling options.

New York City (WalkScore: 2)
Manhattan
The borough of Manhattan is the template of the popular idea of New York City. Much of its street-grid organization is charitable to the newcomer.

Central Park
The phrase “a walk in the park” may well have been invented for this true urban oasis.Brooklyn, Park Slope/Prospect Park
The 22-block promenade of Prospect Park West, running parallel to Prospect Park, is a wonderful city-walk route.
Seattle (WalkScore: 6)
Burke-Gilman Trail
Running about 20 vagabond miles from Shilshole Bay to the Sammamish River, the Burke-Gilman Trail has long been a favorite of runners, walkers and cyclists.

Washington D.C. (WalkScore: 7)
Greater U Street Historic District
The nation’s capital, the ultimate company town, is also home to a variety of neighborhoods that give the city of Washington another kind of cosmopolitan flavor.Denver (WalkScore: 11)
Capitol Hill
Denver, once known as the Queen City of the Plains (nestled in the Rocky Mountains; go figure) lays claim to many walkable neighborhoods.
