Some good places to grab a bite are Pho Thai Hoa Restaurant, White Spot Restaurant or Ashiana Tandoori Restaurant. Venture a little further for a meal at one of the neighbourhood's restaurants. If you love coffee, you're not too far from Tim Hortons located at 2001 Kingsway. Groceries can be found at Famous Foods which is not far and you'll find Karma Dental not far as well. Entertainment is close by, with Upintheair Theatre and Solo Collective Theatre a 6-minute walk. Love being outside? Look no further than Kingcrest Park and Brewers Park, which are both only steps away.

Without a car, you can get around quite easily. The closest transit stop is a BusStop (Eastbound Kingsway @ Perry St) and is a short walk, but there is also a Subway stop, Nanaimo Station Platform 2, only a 12 minute walk connecting you to the TransLink. It also has (Bus) route 019 Metrotown Station/stanley Park, (Bus) route 025 Brentwood Station/ubc, and more nearby.
