Nearby restaurants are few and far between. Venture a little further for a meal at one of the neighbourhood's restaurants. If you love coffee, you're not too far from McDonald's located at 1020 Ottawa Street North. For groceries there is New City Supermarket which is a 6-minute walk. The Museum, Apollo Cinema and Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery are all within walking distance and could be a great way to spend some down time. If you're an outdoor lover, you are a 7-minute walk from Victoria Park, McLennan Park and Waterloo Park.

Getting around the area will require a vehicle, as the nearest transit stop is a "MiWay" BusStop ("Rosehurst Dr At Terragar Blvd") and is a 72-minute drive
