Meet your new neighborhood

Take a look around the square. Browse the shops, stop by the visitor's center, or head to the Post Office and Town Hall when you need a hand.

Welcome to the neighborhood. Where will you stop first?

Your home and your address

Your first listing starts with a place of your own. Choose a home style, and we'll give it a Town address. Before long, you'll have your own little corner of the neighborhood.

Inside, use the Room Designer to choose your decor, with a little help from Emma. When you're ready to pass something along, visit the seller desk in your home to add it to your Trading Post.

Your Town address is the one neighbors see. The street address you provide is used as the origin on shipping labels, separate from your public place in Town.

A little shopping. A little exploring.

Step into a shop and browse items from other families. When you find something, claim it with Points and head to the Post Office for the next step. The town brings all those everyday tasks together in one familiar place.

Between exchanges, there's more to discover. Meet the characters, follow a quest, or enjoy a seasonal story. Join in whenever you like. Stories and quests are optional, and they don't replace the Points you use for items.
