What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I’m not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

    the only ones i don’t have within 15 min walk from me

    • a university
    • a hospital

    I do have a local GP within that distance though so i’m fine with not having a hospital within walking distance. Plus there is a hospital not too far away, just not within 15 mins.

    I have a college about 25 mins walk away too

    I live in the centre of a large british town though so having everything on my doorstep is kind of expected

      Most things I have nearby too but you have a sports arena (stadium or similar) in walking distance?

          I’m not sure I’ve ever been to an actual bar. Isn’t it just a restaurant without the food? (There are a couple of restaurants near me that serve cocktails).

        yeah, local football stadium. not a premier league stadium but would qualify for “sports stadium” imo

        Gallagher Stadium Maidstone if you want to look it up
