I love Mount Pearl!

We're not yet in our home in Mount Pearl as we are waiting for the movers to arrive, but I love Mount Pearl and the community that we will be living in! Mount Pearl is just barely a city with 26,000 people, but we have all of the essential amenities that we need close to home. We are only five blocks from one of the main streets in Mount Pearl, so we're close to our bank, shopping, our chiropractor, our dentist, video store, massage therapy, acupuncture and more. And, there are a number of schools and parks in our neighbourhood. We are only five blocks away from a river and walking / biking trail that leads to my mother-in-law (Mildred's) house (in one direction) and also to St. John's core (in the other direction). I haven't had time to do a lot of exploring, but there is also a pond / small lake nearby with walking trails around it. (Mel says that everything is called a pond here even if it's a larger body of water since next to the ocean, everything seems like a pond).

Mount Pearl itself flows seamlessly into St. John's (it almost feels like a community of St. John's), so we can take advantage of the amenities of a "larger "(yet small) city (of 100,000) (we're only around 8 km to the harbour). Mildred lives in yet another community, Paradise (pop. 12,000), which is only 4 km from our place!

I love that everything is close by!
