Groceries can be found at Family Mart Plus which is only a 6 minute walk and you'll find Srirani Rajeswaran Dr not far as well. For those days you just want to be indoors, look no further than Doris McCarthy Gallery to keep you occupied for hours. You are not far from great parks like Highland Creek Community Park and Canmore Park.

Without a car, you can get around rather easily. The closest transit stop is a BusStop (ELLESMERE RD AT CALVERLEY TRAIL) and is a short walk, but there is also a Subway stop, MCCOWAN STATION - PLATFORM, a 7-minute drive connecting you to the TTC. It also has (Bus) route 116 Morningside, (Bus) route 395 York Mills Night Bus, and more nearby.
