Ours isnt walkable. We live dead center of a suburban neighborhood thats equal distant between two major roads with various grocery stores, restaurants, and shops, but its a minimum 45 minute walk just to reach either major road. Its another 10 minute walk if you want the grocery store and 15-45 if you want a place to eat.
There are no sidewalks for about 100 feet on both ends of the only road that connects the two major roads and our large neighborhood. This isnt really an issue on one side because theres grass you can still walk on, but on the other end you have to walk across a shoulderless bridge to reach the main road or climb over the 6ft deep drainage ditch to get to a parking lot that runs next to the bridge.
We tried walking to a restaurant once and havent had the energy to try it again which is a shame because we have an insanely diverse number of options for food and shopping, not that we can really afford it anymore.
