They want to do a variety of things, such as quit smoking, lose weight or get a better job, to strive to be in a happier place with themselves than when they started the year. However, only 50% of people keep their resolutions after 3 months, and the success rate doesn’t improve as time goes on. What can you do to keep your resolutions throughout the whole year? We hope this infographic helps you achieve your personal goals next year.

Settlers Creek
6815 Ridgewood Drive
Papillion, NE 68046
Walk Score – 31 Car-Dependent, almost all errands will require a car for transportation.

Remington Ridge
8006 South 192nd Avenue
Gretna, Nebraska 68028
Walk Score – 4 Car-Dependent, almost all errands will require a car for transportation.
Bike Score – Not Given. This leads us to believe it was given a low score or WalkScore.com simply does not have enough data.
Walnut Lake

Omaha, NE 68135
Walk Score – 39 Although this is the highest score yet Omaha is still Car-Dependent and almost all errands will require a car for transportation.
Bike Score – Not Given. This leads us to believe it was given a low score or WalkScore.com simply does not have enough data.
Quail Hollow

Omaha, Nebraska 68135
Walk Score – 26 Car-Dependent, almost all errands will require a car for transportation.

So, unfortunately our locations aren’t quite the walkers paradise. You’ll be within walking distance to some locals like grocery shopping or parks, but you won’t have access to all Omaha has to offer without a car. If you were hoping to start walking or biking more in order to get into better shape consider joining one of the many near-by gyms!
