What are the essential services you need in your local neighborhood?
What is essential for you to have nearby? I can think of groceries, fresh produce, haircut/salon, a couple restaurants, schools, etc. Those are the obvious ones. What else are you looking for, such as a flower shop?
I actually live in this already. In 15 minutes I can get to: groceries, pharmacies, school, daycare, after-school club, library, postal services, train station, bus routes, mechanic, restaurants, public pool, hairdresser, hardware store, our general practitioner. The hospital is also within 15 minutes but that’s kind of random. Just a little outside that range is a shopping center.
Unfortunately i work further away but my husband walks to work.
