New HomeYour prep work came in handy in helping you get ready to move. Now it’s moving day.

Wondering what you can do to get acclimated to your new location, once you’re living there? Moving to a new place can be daunting, but learning about your surroundings in a savvy way can help make it your new home. Here are some tips to get accustomed to your new surroundings:

Find your Transportation

You gathered maps already, and you’ve located key places. Now it’s time to put that knowledge to use! It’s always important to know the most convenient way to get around: explore roads, bus routes, train schedules, or anything else you may find useful.

Become Aware of Laws You Might Not Know About

Every city has its own slew of concerns and ordinances, and it’s good to know your resources.

Parking bans, noise laws, and the culture of your new city might be wildly different from where you’ve come. Search for your city’s government website, and it will most likely have citizen-friendly information about local laws and ordinances. You could also take a visit to your local city hall or visitors’ center, and find out what’s what.

Get Involved: Public Programs/Recycling/Community Activities

The fabulous community you’ve moved into is fabulous for a reason: you probably have community leaders, volunteers, aldermen, and small businesses making it great. Keep that trend going, and improve your community by getting involved in something. It’s a great way to invest in your new hometown.

Find your Niche

Do you like to knit? You can find countless knitting groups, running clubs, and book clubs around your town. An urban area should offer something for everyone, and even small towns feature many clubs and organizations. What a great way to meet like-minded people!

Pick your Favorite Café/Restaurant/Bar

If you are in a densely populated area, there is a good chance that there are some fantastic dining options within your neighborhood. If you don’t have the time (or the funds) to shop around, look online to see the highest-rated haunts in your ‘hood. Take a walk; you might find a cozy bar or café that is looking for their newest regular!
