You need to know where things are, fast. This guide covers the basics so you can stop searching and start settling in.
Groceries

Whether you prefer a large supermarket with a full deli and pharmacy counter or a smaller store for quick runs, you’ll have options nearby. The welcome note left on the kitchen counter of your property includes the name and address of the closest grocery store to that specific home, so you won’t need to look it up yourself.

If you or your family need non-emergency medical attention, a sudden fever, a minor injury, a prescription refill, there are walk-in options available most days of the week, including weekends.
