Here at the Jacksonville All My Sons, we think that Jacksonville is a pretty great place to live. We also understand, however, that moving from one part of the state, or from another part of the country, into our neighborhood could present a big change. As experienced Jacksonville movers, we’ve learned a few tricks to getting familiar with a new neighborhood.

Explore Community Services Nearby

There may be some buildings to visit where you and your family plan to spend a lot of time, such as schools, churches, libraries, and grocery stores. Other places such as the town hall, the post office, or a neighborhood café can be enjoyable to visit. Depending on your neighborhood, you may also find a dusty little museum or an exciting shop with unique offerings.

Find Out About Local Recreation

Whether you prefer the beach or a scenic walk through a state park, the opportunities for outdoor recreation abound. Local Jacksonville movers have found chances to learn about local history, enjoy family picnics, or take to the trails for a day on their four-wheelers.

Visit with the Locals

When possible, take the time to chat with your neighbors. If they have lived in the area for very long, then they may be able to introduce you to the services and recreation that appeals to you. If you have a hard time talking to the neighbors, then consider checking out a small local paper for upcoming community events.
