Nolina - Tips for Settling Into Your Nolina Home

Congratulations on your new home in Nolina! Now that the unpacking is done and the boxes are gone (mostly, we aren’t here to judge), it’s time to settle in, get comfortable, and enjoy your new home and new lifestyle. How? We have a few tips:

Test Everything

Sure, your Nolina home is brand new, but it’s still a good idea to do a quick systems check. Test all the lights, appliances, and outlets. Ensure the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly. Try out both heating and cooling modes to confirm they’re working correctly. Everything should be in tip-top shape, but if anything seems off, don’t stress. It’s easy to contact your builder to get it resolved quickly.

Familiarize Yourself with Home Utilities

Now that you’ve run your systems check, it’s time for a scavenger hunt—but the fun, grown-up kind. Find your circuit breaker, main water shut-off valve, and gas shut-off (if you have gas utilities). Knowing where they are could save the day in an emergency. Take a mental note (or snap some pics) of these key spots and rest easy knowing you’re ready for anything.

Organize Storage Areas

Remember those moving boxes? You won’t need to store them in the garage if you organize your other storage areas. Start with closets, pantries, and cabinets. Think about how you’ll use each space and organize accordingly. Hooks for bags, labeled bins for pantry staples, and baskets for odds and ends are lifesavers. Once everything has its place, you’ll feel more in control and ready to decorate.

Personalize Your Space

This is the fun part! Hang your favorite art pieces, unroll that statement rug, and sprinkle in your cherished knick-knacks. Bonus points if you treat yourself to a few new décor items. Don’t stop at visual touches — incorporate scents and sounds that make you feel at home. Lavender candles, citrus diffusers, or even a playlist of your favorite songs can help create a vibe that’s all you.

Explore the Neighborhood

Grab your sneakers or car keys and get to know the area. Take a walk or drive around Georgetown to discover nearby grocery stores, parks, restaurants, and other essentials. Find your go-to coffee shop, the perfect picnic spot, or the best takeout options for those lazy nights. Getting to know your surroundings will make everything feel more familiar, and hey, you might even stumble upon a hidden gem or two.

Sign Up!

Make the most of your new neighborhood by registering for local amenities. Swing by the library for a card, sign the kids up for after-school classes, and see if any clubs catch your eye. Georgetown is brimming with opportunities to connect and stay active.

Meet the Neighbors

Making friends is easier than you think in a community as welcoming as Nolina. Break the ice by hosting a housewarming party or a low-key coffee gathering, like the first-of-the month coffees hosted at The Wildflower House. Invite your neighbors over for a chat. Keep an eye out for community events, too. Nolina is known for its friendly vibe, and chances are you’ve already met a few neighbors while settling in.

Wildflower House is a Great Place to Start

When getting to know Nolina, the Wildflower House amenity center is a great place to start. Meet fellow fitness junkies in the fitness room. Take the kids to Butterfly Park playground to meet new school chums. Lounge by the outdoor fireplace to meet the neighbors. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s a great way to integrate your family into life at Nolina.
