Settling into a new carefree lifestyle is one of the most exciting times in your life. Finally, you have all the time and freedom to do the things you love... alongside neighbors who love them too! From social events in the clubhouse to staying active in the fitness center,  at the pool,  on the walking trails and the Corner Patch Gardens, there’s so much to dive into and enjoy life to its fullest!. 

Before the big day happens and you are living that carefree lifestyle you so deserve, here is a quick reminder of a  few details you can cross off your list.  After just a few phone calls, you can start enjoying the fun and freedom of your brand new lifestyle! Print out this handy checklist to start setting up your very first Cornerstone home connections:

[  ] Electric: The chemistry you’ll feel with your brand new home? It’s electric! Once you’re all “plugged in” with a quick phone call to your utility company, you can enjoy the comfort of a space that’s on the same page as you are.

[  ] Water: From preparing meals in your beautiful kitchen to unwinding in your spa-like owner’s bathroom, it all starts with good old h2O. You’re just a phone call away from all the magic that’s bound to happen in your home. (Specific communities water is included in HOA-check with your Sales Manager for details.)

[  ] Internet/Phone/Cable: Stay connected to the outside world from the comfort of your home, whether you’re watching your favorite show, posting photos of your latest get-together, or planning an afternoon happy hour.

[  ] Gas: So many meals, so much freedom! Once you call to set up your gas utility, you can unleash your inner chef and start whipping up your best meals with the highest quality kitchen appliances around.  Not to mention, cozy up by your gas fireplace this winter with the flip of a switch!

[  ] Mail Set-Up: Visit your local post office to be sure you've updated mailing address, or you can take care of all of it right online! Don’t miss out on all those birthday cards from your grandkids, fun coupons, magazines, etc.

[  ] Driver’s License & Car Registration:  Living the carefree, lock & leave lifestyle, make sure your car is ready to hit the adventure trail.  Visit your local DMV or go online to adjust your address. 

[  ]  Four-Legged Children: Your pet’s identification tags and any microchips need to be changed to your new address!  

Your Homeowner’s Association or Condo Association will be providing you a packet of information at closing! Your HOA or Condo Association  provides the upkeep of all neighborhood  amenities and common ground maintenance.  This helps to maintain the appearance and value of the entire neighborhood.  No more yard work for you!!
