I live in a suburb that is very walkable. It has single family homes, can walk everywhere, and am close to transit. I have been having trouble driving but I can walk or bike for most of my needs.

This is pre-war streetcar suburbs. The difference is that the houses are close together. The garages are mostly in back and tiny. The streets are in a grid, nearly all have sidewalks, and many are narrow which lowers speeds. The main streets have shops and restaurants along them.
