We all know that moving to a new neighborhood has its ups and downs. While you might be excited to start a new chapter in your life, there are a ton of things to consider and tasks to complete before you’re settled.
With this in mind, who wouldn’t want to make your new neighbor’s transition into your area smoother? There are many ways that you can help out your neighbors without overstepping or making them feel overwhelmed by your assistance. A helping hand and a smile will make all the while!
Here are a few friendly ways that you can welcome your new neighbors into their new home. These small acts of kindness will show how great your intentions are and that you support your neighbors in your community.
1. Say ‘Hello!’
The first step in welcoming your neighbors into your neighborhood is starting on the right foot. First impressions can be important and can sometimes make or break a relationship.
One fun welcoming gesture that you can give your neighbor is a welcome tag that you can hang on their door!

2. Community Services
Transitioning into a new community where you do not know of any recommended services or family friends to ask can be overwhelming. Recommending the best doctor’s, house maintenance, and other facilities will make you a trusted resource.
Whether your new neighbors need to take their dog to the vet or their kids to the dentist, here are a few ideas of services that might be available in your area:
Local services: lawn care, car repair shops, doctors offices, dentists, and babysitters or some of the most important amenities of an area.
Local groups: ask your new neighbors to join fun social groups and clubs that you think they will enjoy.
Local attractions: why do you think that your new neighbors moved to the neighborhood in the first place? Make sure that they know about all of the best parks, restaurants, and other attractions!
