DC/certain areas of neighboring Northern Virginia
Heard great things about Seattle too
+1 though in those areas that are walkable, it’s not much cheaper than NY
I'd choose Boston itself over Cambridge, especially if you are used to New York. A little cheaper, but still a "city" - DC, Chicago, Seattle, parts of Atlanta, Toronto. Cheaper - Charlotte, Nashville, San Antonio... But then you're starting to get into "states where the government is run by wackos and hates women, lgbt+, immigrants"
Southend; parts of Plaza Midwood and NoDa; potentially Southpark. Just depends where you work;
Caution: Cambridge is “cheaper” but not cheap. It’s also realistically only walkable across Mass Ave, not that you’ll find yourself going anywhere to far form Mass Ave though.
Chicago is significantly cheaper than NY and from what I’ve heard it’s a similar living standard.

I wouldn’t recommend Chicago as a substitute for New York if a person really likes New York. For people just looking for a reasonably priced major city though, it’s alright.
Chicago is a great walkable city, anything you need in any of the neighborhoods.

The thing to keep in my mind is that while nyc is walkable it is anchored by great public transportation. You will want someone similar in your new city which limits your choices imo.

Europe
Detroit, Milwaukee
As someone in Detroit, lack of grocery stores is a problem for walkers downtown.
Boston
Seattle :)
Arlington, VA for sure. Can walk to one end of the county to the other never having to leave a sidewalk. Also, generous amount of bike lanes and public transit, plenty of grocery stores to choose from wherever you are located. I rarely touch my car unless I’m going out of town
In Arlington you'll get a bigger place than in NYC, but it will still be $1M +, and with higher property taxes
Nashville 😂

I’m in nashville. Don’t find it particularly walkable.
Maybe if you live in the gulch and never leave =]
Denver Atlanta....
Atlanta is NOT walkable
Chief
Certain parts of Chicago and DC. Also Boston and downtown Seattle.
Philadelphia and Chicago (great cities but crime being a risk to manage in both), DC or Arlington VA, Boston, Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis. Are there any other walkable cities at all in the US (other than SFO)?
Some people are giving suggestions that are cheaper but NOT walkable, like Atlanta and San Antonio.
Boston
Chicago and DC
DC
Chicago - nice neighborhoods like west loop, old town, wicker park, Lincoln park
Chicago, Philly, Miami, Minneapolis, Portland, Madison, Charleston
Rising Star
Madison is awesome.
Bloomington IN is also great.
Familiar with Boston and downtown Boston is very pricey. I guess the only other place is parts of DC around Georgetown. Begs the question of why America became so car dependent. I guess it was the book in suburbs after the Second World War.
