These housewalks give participants a chance to see inside some of the best homes and gardens a community has to offer.
Many people come away with design ideas for their own properties.
Others come away with their curiosity about a particular house or neighborhood satisfied or perhaps piqued even more. Most housewalks are self-guided. Maps to each housewalk location usually are available with tickets, allowing participants to set their own pace and visit homes they choose. Though many housewalks feature homes that are near enough to one another to make for pleasant strolls, some housewalks entail driving, as the featured locations may be too distant to reach by foot. A few housewalks offer shuttle bus service from a convenient parking area to the featured destinations.
