Different neighborhoods in the same city can often vary greatly in the amenities and atmosphere they offer residents. And if staying active is important to you, it's best to do some research on the neighborhoods that will help you accomplish that.

The results are based on the percentage of quiet streets (based off of traffic volume), the number of "active" amenities on Yelp (like playgrounds and parks), the number of health-centric amenities on Yelp (like hospitals and doctor's offices), and the amount of footpaths and trails (not including sidewalks).
