I'd define walking distance as about a three mile radius - while I can walk further than that, in practice I generally bike. Within that are three parks*, one university, a number of restaurants (largely in a ring around said university, plus a section of town called old town), several grocery stores, four banks, a post office, two bus stations, one high school, one middle school, something like eight elementary schools, a mosque, two synagogues, about a dozen churches, a number of specialty stores, two foosball bars, at least a dozen non-foosball bars, three microbreweries, a distillery, and a number of other things that I've forgotten.

It's one of the benefits of living in a college town.

*One of these is less than a block away.
