Walking Radius Map — What's Within a 15 Minute Walk?
The map opens with a 15-minute walking radius (¾ mile at an average pace) pre-drawn. Pick a different walk time, search any address, and see the walkable ring around it. Free, no signup.

Straight-line ring, not a sidewalk network
This circle is a straight-line radius at an assumed walking speed. It does not follow streets, crosswalks, rivers or fences — a place ¾ mile away as the crow flies may be a 25-minute walk if a highway sits between you. Use the ring for orientation and comparisons, not for promising anyone an exact walk time. A true walk-network (sidewalk-graph) isochrone needs road data and is on the long-term roadmap.
Walking distance by time and speed
Straight-line distance covered at three common walking paces:
| Minutes | Slow stroll (2 mph) | Average adult (3 mph) | Brisk walker (4 mph) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 min | 0.17 mi · 0.3 km | 0.25 mi · 0.4 km | 0.33 mi · 0.5 km |
| 10 min | 0.33 mi · 0.5 km | 0.50 mi · 0.8 km | 0.67 mi · 1.1 km |
| 15 min | 0.50 mi · 0.8 km | 0.75 mi · 1.2 km | 1.00 mi · 1.6 km |
| 20 min | 0.67 mi · 1.1 km | 1.00 mi · 1.6 km | 1.33 mi · 2.1 km |
| 30 min | 1.00 mi · 1.6 km | 1.50 mi · 2.4 km | 2.00 mi · 3.2 km |
| 45 min | 1.50 mi · 2.4 km | 2.25 mi · 3.6 km | 3.00 mi · 4.8 km |
| 60 min | 2.00 mi · 3.2 km | 3.00 mi · 4.8 km | 4.00 mi · 6.4 km |
The tool's presets assume the average adult pace of 3 mph — about 20 minutes per mile. If you know your audience walks faster or slower, type any radius directly in miles or kilometers.
What people use a walking radius for
Choosing where to live. Draw a 15-minute ring around a job site or school and see which neighborhoods actually sit inside “walking distance” — before falling in love with a listing that isn't.
Real estate listings. “Walkable to downtown” means different things to different people; a shared map link makes the claim precise.
The 15-minute city. Urbanists use 15-minute walk rings to discuss whether daily needs — groceries, school, parks, transit — sit within a short walk. This tool gives you the geometry in seconds.
Event & venue planning. Hotel shuttles vs. walkable venues, parking spill-over rings, festival foot-traffic zones.
Want the same ring in driving terms instead? The miles-to-minutes guide covers driving and cycling speeds, and the main radius tool handles any arbitrary distance.

Frequently asked questions
How far is a 15 minute walk?
At the average adult pace of 3 mph, a 15-minute walk covers 0.75 miles — about 1.2 kilometers. Slow walkers cover about 0.5 miles, brisk walkers a full mile.
How far can you walk in 30 minutes?
About 1.5 miles (2.4 km) at an average pace — 1 mile at a slow stroll, up to 2 miles at a brisk pace.
What walking speed does the tool assume?
The presets assume 3 mph (4.8 km/h), the widely used average for adults on flat ground. You can override the radius to match any speed — divide speed (mph) by 4 to get miles per 15 minutes.
Does the circle follow streets and sidewalks?
No. It is a straight-line ring at an assumed speed, so barriers like rivers, rail lines and highways can make a real walk longer than the ring suggests. Treat it as an orientation tool, not a route planner.
What is a 15-minute city?
An urban-planning concept where daily needs — living, working, shopping, education, healthcare — sit within a 15-minute walk (or bike ride) of home. Drawing 15-minute rings around an address is a quick way to see how close a location comes to that ideal.
Is this walking radius tool free?
Yes — free with no signup or usage limits, funded by display advertising. Your searches run in your browser and nothing about your locations is stored.
