walking distance
Close enough afoot
Walking distance describes a span close enough to reach comfortably on foot: The hotel is within walking distance of the beach.
What counts as walking distance varies by speaker and context—for some it's a few blocks, for others a mile or more.
The phrase typically implies no need for a vehicle: Is the restaurant walking distance from here?
