american cities where you dont need a car

Of course the Big Apple comes first. Here owning a car is the exception and not the norm.

The nations capital is extremely well connected.The metro runs all the way to the airport and most of the suburbs can be accessed byby public transport.

The New York City of the midwest Chicago is proud of its transport (Chicago Transit Authority). Most neighborhoods can be accessed by metro bus or foot.

Except for some outlying neighborhoods public transport in the Bay Area is relatively good. Just remember the closer you get to downtown San Fransisco the less you will need a car.

Like most major cities unless you plan on living in some distant suburbs within the city itself you can easily get around. Philly has always ranked high for its walkability.

Seattle is an extremely compact and easy to navigate city. There are even some ways to get into the nearby mountains (like in Denver) using public transport. Europeans and others seem to have little trouble acclimating here.

Although its not the first city that comes to mind when considering car-free living Denver has a relatively well developed public transit system. You can even get into the nearby Rocky Mountains via train.

Youll probably notice that many of the cities on our list can be found in the northeast corridor and Boston is no exception. Living here without a car isnt much of a problem.

As long as you live in Brickell Downtown or South Beach your need for a car will be limited to visiting friends in the suburbs.

Depending on where you live having a car might be more of a hassle in Baltimore than going car free. The bus and light rail are pretty good.
