While we sell Santa Clarita real estate, and are experts when it comes to the 4 walls and roof stuff, one of the most common questions posed to us agents is in regards to traffic conditions and commute times! It’s true!
With Santa Clarita being so close to Los Angeles, many Santa Claritans, and those looking to relocate to the Santa Clarita Valley, have the need to commute to the LA areas for work.
How Long Is The Commute To…?
Now you can consult Walk Score for the answer! Walk Score is a website that offers information about how close (or far) any one address is from places such as stores, parks, schools, restaurants, and…you get the point. They relate the addresses proximity via a score of 0-100. The larger the number, the more pedestrian friendly the address inputted. Walk Score has become an integral part of real estate listings online. Often times the Walk Score shows up right next to a price, or other key information about a home. Walk Score now offers a new metric…commute time!
If you’re new to an area, or just considering how long it takes to drive from one end of town to the other, Walk Score’s Commute Report can easily assist you. Just type in your address on the home page, or an address you’re considering to rent/purchase, then click the Your Commute tab. There you’ll input the address you commute to, to render the Commute Report and all of its wonderful information.
It’ll tell you how long it’d take you to walk there.
It’ll tell you how long it’d take to bike there.
And, most useful, how long it’d take to drive there!
Is There Traffic at ___ Time?
Now if only the Commute Report at Walk Score actually told you what the commute would be at various times of day, or at a time you inputted as your commute time. That’d be cool! Perhaps they’re reading this and will add that?
