In moving I had to leave my favorite hair stylist, who is a good choice for a new one?
“A great and valuable service!”
Moving into a new neighborhood can be intimidating. You don’t really know the hot places, or the places to avoid. We appreciate the Moving to the Neighborhood Project because it got us started. A great and valuable service!

“Convenience Trumped Using Other Services”
Sure there’s Yelp and Citysearch – but the Welcome to the Neighborhood Project gave me what I needed in one place. On one page. In my case, convenience trumped using those other services. Thanks to the businesses that participated – I’ve visited them all and they’ve been great! Very dependable.

“Great idea!”
They say we live in a word of mouth, referral kind of world. I don’t see how that’s different from before, but I do get that the internet helps get recommendations to people easier. I definitely appreciate the Welcome to the Neighborhood Project for getting those recommendations to me with one quick link! Great idea.
With joy,

Thank you for your interest in the Welcome to the Neighborhood project. The information provided here is designed to give you an honest look at the best run businesses in your neighborhood. When moving into a new area, it can make all the difference to know which businesses have the most long-standing tradition of dependability and trust.
The Welcome to the Neighborhood project is run by a coalition of mortgage specialists, real estate agents and movers who need to provide Welcome Packets and Concierge Lists to clients who have successfully completed a home purchase or move and need to get acquainted with their new neighborhood. Putting this into electronic form allows the information to be distributed widely and helps these folks get settled into the neighborhood. It also helps businesses like you!
The businesses listed here are juried, meaning they have been chosen because they carry the best reputation with neighborhood residents, as determined by conversations, reviews at sites like Yelp, longevity and features in local publications.
One of the goals of this project is also to keep things simple. We don’t want to overwhelm you initially with choices, so we have limited the number of businesses featured. This doesn’t mean that the other ones aren’t great too! But try getting your foot in the door with the ones featured here to get started.
If you have a question about businesses in your neighborhood, don’t hesitate to send it straight to us! Use the Ask a Question Now button at left to ask one of our editors. We’ll have our researchers get on it and get back to you right away.
We hope you enjoy your new neighborhood!
