How WalkPulse Works

WalkPulse™ is Modern Market REALTORS®' walkability measure for homes in Fargo, West Fargo, Moorhead and Horace: how many of 9 everyday needs — a grocery store, coffee shop, restaurant, park, school, pharmacy, library, convenience store and walking path or trail — are within a 15-minute walk along real streets and paths, with the nearest place for each named.

• Grocery store
• Coffee shop
• Restaurant
• Park
• School
• Pharmacy
• Library
• Convenience store
• Walking path or trail

For every home for sale in Fargo, West Fargo, Moorhead and Horace, WalkPulse™ finds the nearest place for each of 9 everyday needs and the walk to it, then counts how many are within 15 minutes.

Walks follow real streets, sidewalks, trails and paths, including the river trails and the little paths between cul-de-sacs, at an easy 3 miles an hour (80 meters a minute). Interstates and roads closed to people on foot are never part of a walk, so the river and I-29 and I-94 are crossed only where a bridge, underpass or path really crosses them.

A walking path or trail means a real trail or paved walk-and-bike path, like the Fargo River Trail or the Moorhead River Corridor Trail, never a sidewalk, and it's named when it has a name.

Places come from OpenStreetMap, filled in with Overture Maps, and are checked so a warehouse or a company office never shows up as a grocery store or a restaurant. Every day WalkPulse™ rechecks every home against the map, and the OpenStreetMap data is refreshed each week: a new listing gets its WalkPulse™ within a day, and a newly mapped store or trail reaches the homes near it within a week.

Limits we'd rather say out loud: a path or store that isn't on the map yet can't count, so a few walks come out a little longer than the real shortcut. Brand-new subdivisions whose streets aren't mapped yet show no WalkPulse™ until they are. The school is the nearest school building, not necessarily the one a home is zoned for; each listing shows its assigned schools separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is WalkPulse?

WalkPulse™ is Modern Market REALTORS®' walkability measure for homes in Fargo, West Fargo, Moorhead and Horace: how many of 9 everyday needs — a grocery store, coffee shop, restaurant, park, school, pharmacy, library, convenience store and walking path or trail — are within a 15-minute walk along real streets and paths, with the nearest place for each named.

How is WalkPulse calculated?

Along real streets, sidewalks, trails and paths at 3 miles an hour, WalkPulse™ finds the nearest grocery store, coffee shop, restaurant, park, school, pharmacy, library, convenience store and walking path or trail to a home and counts how many are within a 15-minute walk. A place farther than 30 minutes is listed as none within a 30-minute walk.

Is WalkPulse the same as Walk Score?

No. WalkPulse™ is Modern Market REALTORS®' own measure, not Walk Score®. Instead of one number, it names the nearest place for each everyday need and the walk to it, so you can see what is actually close to a home.

Which homes have a WalkPulse?

Homes for sale in Fargo, West Fargo, Moorhead and Horace. A new listing gets its WalkPulse™ within a day, and every home is rechecked daily against map data refreshed each week. Homes on brand-new streets that aren't on the map yet show no WalkPulse™ until they are.

Are walking paths and trails included?

Yes, twice. Every walk uses sidewalks, trails and paths as well as streets, including the river trails and the paths between cul-de-sacs. And the nearest walking path or trail is one of the 9 needs: a real trail or paved walk-and-bike path, never a sidewalk. Interstates and roads closed to people on foot are never part of a walk.

What is the most walkable neighborhood in Fargo-Moorhead?
