New in Town- Getting Around and Settling in!

Once the planning, packing, unpacking and general moving is completed- it is often the first time we can sit and relax after months and months of preparation and execution of your move!

Being new in town, or new in a neighborhood, can be a daunting feeling that often doesn’t hit until the dust has settled.  The warm weather is the perfect opportunity to be out and about- and see what your City and neighbors are all about!

 Where, What and When:  Ask your Moving Company, or even your Real Estate Agent- find out the popular newspapers and websites in your new city!  These sites will give you current events, family friendly attractions, and also general outdoor activities that are available in your area.  In Cleveland and Columbus the hidden treasures are endless-  State and Local parks, the Wineries and Lake front fun, Amusement parks and festivals-  all of these great destinations can be found in the local papers and websites!

Nice to Meet You!  Visiting all of these attractions you will undoubtedly run into new friends and neighbors-  a great way to start the introductions and find out a little more about the neighborhood, restaurants, local features and more.    Even just being outside in the nice weather, waving as a neighbor drives past- is a warm welcome and can often go overlooked when we are so busy and focused.  

Try and Do!  Sites like Groupon and Living Social are a great way to try new places, even if you aren’t new in town- and at a fraction of the original cost!  Plan a weekend trip, a dinner out or even just an hour excursion- all with the information, details and cost right at your fingertips.    These sites can also be used for locating services and pros for any new projects as well!

The housework will be there, and the interior projects can wait for the Fall-  Enjoy the time outside,  see what your new neighborhood and city are all about!  The perfect amount of productivity and play, coupled with great planning- will be the secret to a successful move!
