Green Fields · Suburb / Locality
How much of daily life sits within a walk of home — a transparent 0–10 walkability score and the everyday destinations you can reach on foot: shops, public transport, schools, parks and health services, plus the streets and terrain in between.
A severe lack of nearby schools is the main drawback for Green Fields, where only 11.8% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of one. Despite this gap, the area is generally convenient for daily needs, with a walkability score of 5.0, making it somewhat walkable.

5.0
Somewhat walkable of suburb / locality areas.
A 0–10 score for how much of daily life sits within an easy walk of the average home — weighing how close groceries, public transport, cafés, parks, health services, schools, culture and everyday services are, and how many of each. Walking times are measured on an elevation-aware pedestrian network, so hills count against reach. The methodology page describes how the score is put together.
