Some good places to grab a bite are Take Five Cafe, Freshii or Browns Socialhouse. Venture a little further for a meal at one of the neighbourhood's restaurants. If you love coffee, you're not too far from Starbucks located at 289 Nelson's Crt. Groceries can be found at Save-on-Foods which is not far and you'll find West Coast Perio not far as well. For those days you just want to be indoors, look no further than Andrew Art Gallery and Van Dop Gallery to keep you occupied for hours. You are a 3-minute walk from great parks like Sapperton Park and Sunset Park.

Without a car, you can get around quite easily. The closest transit stop is a BusStop (Northbound Richmond St @ Alberta St) and is a short distance away, but there is also a Subway stop, Sapperton Station Platform 1, a 4-minute walk connecting you to the TransLink. It also has (Bus) route 155 Braid Station/22nd Street Station nearby.
