The Regency residential numbers come from the apartment complexes along Monument Road. However, it's certainly not walkable although there are a mix of uses in that area. Looking at the walkscore maps, Five Points appears to be more of a "walker's paradise" than downtown but it's score is dragged down by the borders assigned as Riverside.

I have never heard the area West of Springfield referred to as "Hogan's Creek".  Isn't that Durkeeville?

Chris, Your post sent me on a wirlwind tour of related links that popped up. We paddled Hogans Creek before. Do you want to do it again and take it under the Hyatt parking lot? Would love to hear more about the exciting things that you and others are doing to Make it Happen.

My wife and her friends lived in the Regency area a few years back while we were all in college. They had no cars and walked everywhere - in fact that was one of the big draws of the area. So I don't know whether it's "considered" walkable but it was definitely walkable for people living there. A lot of this seems to be subjective.
