One Tree Hill · Urban Centre
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.
Nearly 85% of homes in One Tree Hill (L) pass the 15-minute-city test, meaning most residents can reach several key amenities on foot. While the area is considered somewhat walkable, this convenience is lopsided; it is very easy to reach parks and shops, but nearly impossible to find health services or transport within walking distance.

4.0
Somewhat walkable of urban centre 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.
