Moving into an elite urban residence is an exciting milestone in life, but it can still be a big adjustment for you and your family. This guide should help you settle into your beautiful modern home as quickly as possible, so you can look forward to years of happiness and comfort:
From Vision to Reality
Throughout the home buying process, you probably had many very vivid dreams about living in your new home and envisioned many details, from the artwork in the living room to the precise layout of your bedroom. Now is the time to put your personal stamp on the home, because it’s all yours. The great thing about a new townhome from an Ottawa home builder like Theberge Homes is that you don’t have to update a stale old house, or replace tacky fixtures and wallpaper. It’s already a pinnacle of modern style, you can just add your own unique touches as you see fit.
Get to Know the Neighbours
One of the great advantages to buying a townhome in a project like Huntclub Towns, Alta Vista Ridge, or Pinecrest is that you instantly become a part of a community. It’s never been easier to connect with your neighbours, some of whom might become friends and trusted confidants for life. You may even find a housesitter or petsitter among them! Are you interested in wine tasting, hikes in Gatineau Park, or a friendly game of squash? You’re likely to find someone with shared interests like these. You could wait for your neighbours to come introduce themselves, or you could put the first step forward and say hi.
Get to Know the Neighbourhood
Beyond the people, it will also help you settle in if you know the neighbourhood. Take a walk and see where the nearest park, coffee shop, and grocery store are. Is there a cute little restaurant you’d like to visit soon? Check for nearby amenities like pharmacies and banks. Also make sure you find out where the nearest hospital, police station, and fire station are located.
Throw a Housewarming Party
After all the boxes are unpacked and you’ve got your townhome looking just right, it’s time to invite your family, friends, and new and former neighbours your new home. They are sure to be impressed with the contemporary and comfortable look of the space. Put your new kitchen to the test and enjoy your time entertaining guests.
Once the party it’s over it’s time to relax because you’ve successfully settled into your new townhome.
