Moving to San Diego: Your First-Week Home Checklist

The first week in a new home is a blur of boxes and errands. A short checklist keeps the important things from slipping through.

Handle the Essentials

Update your address with the post office, your bank, your employer and your utilities. Set up internet and confirm trash and recycling pickup days.

Meet the Neighborhood

Introduce yourself to neighbors and ask about street sweeping days, parking rules and any HOA requirements.

Make Your Home Easy to Find

Check whether your house number and curb number are clear. Friends, movers and delivery drivers will be looking for your address all week.

Plan the Small Upgrades

Once the boxes are unpacked, add a curb address refresh to your list of small exterior projects.
