Which Ivies are in walkable communities?

I have never visited Dartmouth so can’t speak to that first hand. But as others have noted, all of the Ivys have walkable communities near them. SO it really comes down to what kind of community you want.

Dartmouth is the most rural, but still has a decent college town around it. Columbia is in the biggest city in the country.

The rest are in-between. In addition to Columbia, PENN, Harvard, Yale and Brown are all in urban settings (NYC, Philadelphia, Boston/Cambridge, New Haven and Providence respectively).

Princeton is in a beautiful suburban setting about 50 miles from both NYC and Philly (trainable to each). But a vibrant college town with tons of restaurants and shops. Cornell is adjacent to a decent sized town (that supports two colleges, so truly a college town) but that town itself is in a remote area.
