Toronto is a vibrant and fun city to live in and moving there can open the door to a lot of opportunities and great experiences. However, the process of moving can be a little bit stressful. There are a lot of things you will need to think about and organize before you can successfully relocate yourself in this Canadian metropolis. Here are some of the steps that you need to take in order to settle into your new home in Toronto:
Map out Your Community before You Arrive
Once you know your address in Toronto, you can use the internet to get to know your local area before you even get there. Use Google Maps to find out where the nearest supermarket, pharmacy, post office, doctor’s office, dentist and other necessities are located. Take a look at the streets around you and the public transport options. When you do this in advance you’ll already have an idea of your local surroundings even when you first arrive.
Find Your Routine
Establishing a routine in your new location can help you to feel more grounded and at home. Perhaps it involves visiting a local bakery to pick up fresh bagels every Sunday morning, or taking a walk in your local park with the dog every day after work. Find the things that you like in your neighbourhood and make them part of your routine, so that they start to become comforting and familiar.
Use Your Resources
When you are moving to Toronto you are not alone, there are many people who can help you to settle in. Get to know your neighbours and ask them for local advice and tips. Take advantage of newcomers groups to ease yourself into the community. If you are moving into a DelSuites furnished apartment, our team will be there to make the move as easy as possible. We can offer airport pick up and drop off, safety essentials, home furnishings, babysitting services and more – just contact us.
Join a Group or Club
Another great way to settle into your home in Toronto is to join a group or a club associated with a hobby that you enjoy. Whether it’s a book club, a hiking group, a writer’s circle, a local amateur sports team or any other activity, this will be a wonderful way to make friends who share your interest. By doing something you enjoy in your new home you will really start to feel like you belong.
Have a Housewarming Party
Once you are starting to feel comfortable, invite some friends and neighbours over to a housewarming party. It will be a great way to break the ice and get to know people in your community – and possibly the beginning of great friendships!
These are just a few of the ways that you can settle in when you relocate to Toronto, so that this city will start feeling like home.
